cant get magicmirror to show up on screen

That might be the best way of going about it if you are only planning on using the Pi for the Magic Mirror.
Did you start out with a brand new Pi or did you install some other software on it as well? -
No, only this, but I first followed wrong instructions and installed unnecessary software that might have somehow affected the other installations.
-
Then do it again, since you’re only just starting, you will only lose an hour or so and hopefully end up with a working system. This way you can ensure you have a working mirror that is fun to configure. At this stage you’re having problems with it starting up, who knows what other problems might be lurking in the darker corners of your Raspbian installation. Just make sure you grab the latest Raspbian image when reinstalling.
Let us know whether it worked the second time round.

I will certainly let you know. Do you think that it would be better to run the automatic installation command or manually install nodejs, clone the rep and the install npm?

i did it like this on several pi’s now and never had issues https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial

@lysnikolaou Unfortunately, I have no experience with the automatic installation because it isn’t supported for my hardware setup. But it seems to be the best way of going about it and the instructions in the link @strawberry-3-141 has posted is the way to go, @KirAsh4 has put a lot of energy into it and if you follow it closely, I’d be surprised if you still ran into trouble.
-
Thanks a lot to both of you. I will inform you about the results, as soon as I have it done.

Hi everyone,
I have the same problem. Via ssh I get the same error. But using the same command in the terminal on the pi then it is working. I’m confused… -
@kula What command are you talking about?
-
@yo-less sorry, npm start
