Pretty slick. What’s changing the pages?

@cyrus1337 I just say ‘hide modules’… I could tell it to ‘go to sleep’ but haven’t gotten that far yet :)

Hey mate! Awesome work! Trying to do the same myself! How do you run MM natively on Linux? I can only seem to run it as a server. Are you using Docker or something? Thanks and merry Christmas!

Are you asking about something other than a Pi? ubuntu and MM run very happily together. Install ubuntu (I use 16.04 exclusively) and update. Install the latest stable version of node and npm. Install MM and its dependencies. Live a happy life. :)

I’ll try with 16.04 then! Currently on 18.10. Do you just run the npm start and then it opens in a new window or how does it work?

Just to be clear, 16.04 LTS. Never had a problem on several machines.

Now, everything is exactly the same as if it were running on a Pi. So, yes, all commands are exactly the same, including npm start in the MagicMirror directory

Great. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me. I’ve tried looking for answers every first and checked the guides as well, but just kept running into some problems.

Could you refer me to somewhere that shows how to install dependencies maybe?

Merry xmas!

In the case of the installation of MM, after you clone the MM repo, you would navigate to the MagicMirror directory in your terminal and run npm install. That will install the dependencies for MagicMirror. In the case of adding modules, you would navigate to that module folder in your terminal and run npm install. Simple as that. :-)
