      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?

        Just to circle back up I kept getting errors trying to install in a VM on Ubuntu so I decided to install another VM for a raspi desktop and followed the manual installation process without any issues.

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

            @hriereb I had to install the Debian Stretch (Raspi Desktop version) as a Virtual Machine. Then follow the manual install instructions.After that it is seems to be working well.

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

                @axled I did install them but kept getting dependency errors and figured there had to be a better way.

                    @hriereb No worries. 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.

                      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.
