Magic Mirror with AI

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,

bhepler

@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

cowboysdude

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…
