      Hi I have installed MagicMirror2 5 times now and still get to the same issue of not starting up.
      Setup
      Raspberry pi 3
      Jessie Full
      Auto Installer MagicMirror

      I have used the Automatic Installer (Raspberry Pi Only!)
      OK the first time i used Raspbian Stretch Lite but then i moved to Raspbian Stretch Full wont start.

      After some googling i came across a link to install it with Raspbian Jessie Full
      complete-setup-tutorial

      Here is my
      npm-debug.log

        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/5274/how-to-manually-install-mm-on-your-pi-for-absolute-beginners/3

        Remove your actual MagicMirror folder and try it like described in the link

            Hi so it Just worked.

            i was logged in and installed MagicMirror in CLI mode
            Just before i decide to move to a new SD card i changed the CLI to GUI in sudo raspi-config
            and rebooted the pi once it logged it the MagicMirror kicked in after about 20seconds

            Did i do something wrong should i have always had the GUI enables and just worked in terminal
            if so. Sorry my bad…

            Also any way for the MagicMirror to start quicker with out seeing the GUI Desktop

              @paddyhughes Yeah, MM relies on the GUI to display the browser. It’s possible to run without a GUI, but it requires some extra packages and effort. Sorry, didn’t think to ask, but glad to hear it’s up and running!

              Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
              Check out the detailed walkthroughs on install, config, modules, etc.
