Magic Mirror with AI

Chris

Hello,

I tried to install it on a pc running windows seven pro.

It did not work and I must admit that I did not understand everything in the installation procedure.

Can anyone help me ?

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

@Chris not for windows. It requires homebrew and several other packages which are not available on windows.

Chris

under which operating system is it possible to install it since a raspberry is not powerful enough?

A pc running a Linux operating system? if so, which one is the most suitable?

Regards,

@Chris You might be able to run a virtual machine host on Windows 7 Pro and then run this mirror instance as a VM. Most likely you’ll want to run Ubuntu 16.04 desktop or possibly a version of Debian. @akshaybahadur21 will have the details as to which one.

At work, we use a Debian 9.1.0 installation for slimmed down testing. It doesn’t take up much memory or resources at all.

Has ANYONE got this to work yet?

@bhepler @Chris I used Ubuntu VM. You guys can also do the same

@cowboysdude I believe you have another application running on 8080. Try killing that app and restarting magic mirror. I never faced the issue

I told you I do indeed have an apache server running on 80 so that’s not an option. I changed the bot.py file to 8091 so that shouldn’t be an issue. If it doesn’t work it’s just not going to work. I need my other server so taking it down is not an option. I have no issue running the mirror on 8090 and the server at the same time…it’s been running for months like that…

I’m pretty sure no one else has gotten this to work either… It as what I thought a month ago… a no go… I deleted it.
