<![CDATA[Ubuntu 18.04 install issues]]>Hello,

I’m new to Magic Mirror and having some install issues. I’m trying to install Magic Mirror on Ubuntu 18.04 within a virtual environment. Doesn’t seem to matter what I do I run into dependency issues. Is there a way to install all the dependencies without having to go one by one or have I missed a step?

Thanks mate, now everything seems clear, but I have a system with a dual boot (win 10 and ubuntu 18.04) and I wanted to make it work directly on Ubuntu but I get the same errors you posted.

I’m still trying to figure it out myself. The way I have setup up my system was to add Hyper V Manager to my windows system. Then you can install different OS under the Hyper V system. You can use just about any virtual management system you want, I chose Hyper V because it available on my windows 10 system. It should act just as a stand alone system. I installed the Raspberry Pi Desktop OS and set it up as you would if it were on a raspi.

Did you install “npm” and “node” as this sometimes isnt installed at ubuntu by default?

Then follow the manual install instructions.After that it is seems to be working well.

Now time to make some modifications and figure out how to display the VM onto a stand alone monitor.
