Mirror Not Working

Don’t know why you installed MM on your desktop.

Also, did you install MM using sudo? That it not necessary or recommended.

You can try running npm start in the MM directory, without sudo

I’m off to work. I will check back here later

I installed the MM Directory on desktop then After navigating there I typed this “npm start” After that nothing happened

When you’re in the MagicMirror directory try going into the vendor file (cd vendor) and typing “npm install”. I had the same symptoms when I installed mine so it could be the same issue.

Never mind. I realise I was running it with node serveronly and that works perfectly with 0 errors. However if I run it with npm start it’s still black.

@axellejamous What Does ServerOnly Do?

Severonly works perfectly, all modules come up like they should and no errors

[aayush447]

@axellejamous How to install that?

Ok. I seemed to have solved my issue, the MM works with npm start now.
Electron seemed to be causing the issue for me.

Try this:

and then:

Then just try running npm start in the MagicMirror directory.

I’m not sure why, but this solved it for me! Since you seem to have the same issue it might solve yours too.
