Installation

@sdetweil well i would attach a picture but it seems I can’t do that either. I am.new to this so haven’t a clue when what your reply means.
Thanks for replying anyway. -
@jonathane yeh, pictures here are a pain in the rear… you have to upload them somewhere (not here), then link to them…
those are commands u would enter in the window you did the install in
-
@sdetweil thanks but still lost. Maybe this isn’t for me. Is there anywhere I can just buy the card with the mirror app installed?
-
@jonathane telling us what equipment you have may gain more help please elaborate what tech you have then we should be able to go from there
-
@dazza120 raspberry pi 3 with raspian. Well I have no idea what I’ve done but something with Node, which seems to have fixed my issues…Thanks for replying, more education is requires :-)
-
@jonathane outstanding!.. glad to hear it… in general this whole forum area is for ‘how to’, not ‘selling finished’.
-
@jonathane great news, well stay on the forum that’s how I’m getting educated 😂 been almost 4months and I’m still building my mirror I keep changing stuff and looking on here giving myself more ideas and headaches on how to implement them 😂
-
Hello Jonathane.
your installation errors were like this ?https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9632/absolute-beginner-needing-help-installing-dependencies
What did you do to resolve your installation issues?
Best regards -
Well. I thought I’d finished. It shut down and wouldn’t start up. So I rebooted the pi and now it wants a password. It wont recognise raspberry and I haven’t set one. Seriously never thought this would be so difficult.
-
@jonathane haven’t set one… then just hit enter…
but the base PI os install usually has a password… try 'pi ’ too
-
@sdetweil thanks nothing worked. Very odd. Back to the drawing board.
-
@jonathane what OS image did u use for memory card?
-
@sdetweil Raspian. I 're flashed the card and have it going again but can find a way to stop it from “sleeping” I tried some script but it didn’t work. Any idea?
-
@jonathane u mean screensaver?
-
@sdetweil yes
-
Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver.
In your terminal
sudo apt-get install xscreensaverTHEN
sudo rebootRun xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.

@mykle1 will give it a go, thanks

“WARNING! Can not find a config file” then launches and says “MagicMirror2 ‘Please create a config file’ if you have a config file use javascript linter to validate your file” Pls help!:frowning_face: -
@kdavis Have you done what is described in the README and copied the config.js.sample to a config.js file?
-
@kdavis the instructions say to copy the sample over to config. js in the config folder
