Pi Zero

I just tried to install it on the Pi Zero but there was this message:

No Chance?

Hmmm … it seems the Zero is running on ARMv6. Just like the the Pi 1. Unfortunately, Electron (the browser frame on which MagicMirror relies) does not support ARMv6. You can install MagicMirror² and just use the serveronly method, but you would need to setup a browser in kiosk mode yourself. Which is tricky on the ARMv6 platform.

Hi,

I modify the installation file for Pi0. But the program don’t start. My Post “npm-do-not-start”
and the file.
0_1469782479446_MagicMirrorInstallPi0.sh

I don’t find the solution for the moment.

Now is ok for the Pi0. But just for install Kweb.
i use this commands:

wget http://steinerdatenbank.de/software/kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz
tar -xzf kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz
cd kweb-1.7.3
./debinstall

I’ve just tried out running MM2 on a Pi0. It all seems to load up using the server only but when I fire up kweb I just end up with a blank screen. This was a new install so I used the basic config file and added my own data (e.g. weather app key, etc.). I’m new to using MM2 as well so I was not sure if I should be seeing lines like:

No helper found for module: nnnn

As far as I can tell the calendar and newsfeed have started, but nothing is displayed :(

Any recommendations on the diagnostic steps I need to take?

Hopefully the community can help you out here as the Pi0 is not supported. Some people may have gotten it to work though …

@evos I’ve only just seen this. Awesome work! I’ll check it out!

This means I can free up my Pi3 for something else

Hi All,

MM2 works on Pi0. If you want install MM2 on Pi0 use the @evos process or use my install file.
MagicMirrorInstallPi0.sh

@Neokamikaze thanks, I’d manually got to the same sort of place the script would have got me to… It would have got me there faster ;) Further testing has shown it was my set up of kweb that was at fault not MM2 (the page loaded correctly with firefox). I was testing the page in regular browser mode before using kiosk mode so I can perfect my own config.sh. It turned out I had jScript and cookies off, with these enabled fixed the issue I was seeing.

Thanks for all your great work on getting MM2 working on the Pi0!
