How do you run MM natively on Linux?

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. :-)

Awesome, got it working finally! Thanks a lot! Great to see people like you helping out here. It’s much appreciated! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

@cowboysdude the modded module works well for something still in development, but I’ve come into an issue where the mic errors when mmm remote connection opens up the browser to view the actual mirror modules like you would see them on the mirror, I have looked of VNC and the mic works but as soon as you use mmm remote control to view the mirror it errors the mic. Any ideas why

cowboysdude

@dazza120 No because I didn’t write MMM-voice I just modified it to work with MMM-Pages.

I would create a new topic under the troubleshooting section and see if anyone can help, because for this I really have no idea.

@dazza120 Hey Dazza! I’ve encountered the “ERROR” message with MMM-voice a couple of times as well. I’m not sure what’s going on in your case, but I’ve noticed two things:

The voice recognition still works (at least for me). You just have to say your keyword (Magic Mirror) and the ERROR message will disappear and you will be able to use it as normal.
For me it happens when I close down the window for Magic Mirror without closing the terminal connected to it. Then it will re-open with the error - Probably because it doesn’t get to load in properly.

@cowboysdude thank you for your response I’ll start a new thread on the voice module thanks
