Can anyone do me a favor and tell me step by step what has to be done in order get a Magic Mirror installed.
Let’s assume that i have a RPi 3B+, drive with no Rasbian, nothing.
Thanks.
-
- Install the latest Raspbian WITH desktop environment (but without recommended software) on your SD card from here
- Fire up your RasPi 3B+, set up wifi or lan, SSH, and everything you would set up for a running Raspbian system (if you donÄt know why, you will first have to make yourself acquainted with Raspbian itself.
- Open the console (directly on the RasPi or via ssh) and follow installation procedure given on github
- Enjoy!

Hey together
I’m new and could install the software, but i can’t connect to the mirror per localhost for the admin tool.
Should i install apache2 and put the software to /var/www/html? Or can i run it without @ http://magicmirror?Greets

@Dodo88 No, you usually don’t need to do those things, the mirror should run by itself, but you need to use port 8080.
Take care of the following:
- Go into your config.js and look for the “address” parameter. It needs to be
address: "0.0.0.0", - visit your mirror from your browser via:
http://localhost:8080
If it doesn’t work, try visiting your mirror from another computer using:http://magicmirror:8080
-Report if it works
- Go into your config.js and look for the “address” parameter. It needs to be

@Dodo88 said in How to start:

there is no ‘admin’ tool on MagicMirror
also, localhost mean the machine I’m on. so if you are using a windows machine to connect to the mirror, and use localhost, that mean on the windows machine…
in addition to what @lavolp3 said, you also need to clear out the ipWhitelist to look like this
ipWhitelist: []which means ‘allow anyone to connect’
