      Hey there,

      I have a freshly installed RPi3 with jessie-lite, with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade done. I installed MM with bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)" (without any errors) and tried to start with DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &
      The error in ~/MagicMirror/nohup.out shows the following:

      > magicmirror@2.1.3 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      > sh run-start.sh

      As the error ist talking about x11 I also tried to manually install x11vnc (see here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi), but that din’t change anything.

        @AnduriI said in MM not starting after install:

        /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries:

        I believe that your dependencies did not fully install for electron, based on the above error message. Try this:

        Move or rename or delete the electron folder from the /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/ directory.

        Then run npm install in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/ directory.

        Then run npm start in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/ directory

          well that didn’t worked…
          I installed libgtk manually, now a new error: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
          Again, installed that manually and found libnss3.soto be missing… let’s follow this route and see where it leads me…

              I’ve never used Jessie lite or run node server only so I am a bit at a loss here. Often, troubleshooting can take longer than re-installation. In which case, I usually recommend a manual install. That has always worked for me, although I only use the full version of Jessie

                yeah I know what you mean… I will try a re-install with full jessie and manual install. I will report back after that… thanks a lot.

                  @AnduriI If you’re worried about overhead and other useless applications on your Pi, the Complete Setup Tutorial has a useful command to uninstall a lot of the stuff you won’t use in a normal Raspbian image. It will pull out the Wolfram engine, LibreOffice, Minecraft, etc.

                    @bhepler well me using raspbian lite is just a habit and was not to decrease load. I have 3+ RPis all running headless with raspbian lite.
                    But doing a re-install was a good idea. Have a full jessie installed now and setup of MM went fine the manuall way. Also it seems to be starting, but I can’t reach it from my pc. Monitor for MM has not yet arrived.
