npm start dev

Hey!
in the readme i found this:
Important: npm start does not work via SSH, use DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start & instead. This starts the mirror on the remote display.
-
Thanks ost - but I have tried it both from direct physical keyboard and SSH using this command. I’ve been reading a few other problems related to this issue but all seems to come down to “not installing as root user”. Which i’m not - I’m installing as pi. So still scratching my head here.
-
do you have create an mm.sh and starts this with pm2?
-
@ostfilinchen I was just using the standard install script that comes on the tutorial.
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
-
and do u do these steps: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

hey there
@ostfilinchen that’s it. to startnpmfrom my shell it need to use this command:
DISPLAY=:0 npm start devBut with this I can not debug my script. Electron crashes alwasy on startup when I’ve activated my new module using
const sensorLib = require('node-dht-sensor')in my node_helper.jsHow can I debug this error?
-
OK i think i’ve solved it. magic mirror HAS to be started (npm start) from a terminal window in the x-window server. you cannot start it over ssh.
-
@shavesophere Thank you. This at least got me to the point where I can show the display on a monitor. Now I just have to walk to the other room to see my changes. :/

Not true. It can be started over SSH just fine:
DISPLAY=:0 npm start -

Well yeah, that’s different. If npm is giving you errors, no matter how you attempt to start it, the errors won’t magically go away. That’s like saying, the car won’t start if I’m sitting on the left side, maybe if I sit on the right side it might, but in reality there’s no gas in it. Switching seats isn’t going to fill the gas tank. :)
