After a few hours of having fun with this module (wanted to track phones vs MAC), here is what finally worked for ME:
I added one “dummy” IP address (eg of my home NAS). Once the program saw the IP address, it also found all the MAC addresses.
NO idea why, so don’t knock this. Banged my head against it for hours.
[then again, maybe the black cat I sacrificed helped too]
Anyway, that’s my 2c.

@cowboysdude It was nearly that easy… on LTS 16.04 on an ancient Dell:
sudo npm install (failed)
sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
sudo npm install (succeeded)
npm start
-> Please create a config.js file
Thanks for the help!

Upvote.
Sorry that I seem to have kicked a hornet’s nest – I was just reading that people had had problems, and found a way that worked for me. But yes, updating etc is not going to work. And yes, GIT pulls are best…
BUT for real Noobs (been there, done that), GIT might be a bit “weird”, while ZIP is recognized.
Bottom line:
This all works - use @yo-less instructions, then either go the ZIP route (where you have to remove the -master) OR the GIT route (nice & easy).
Thanks everyone for finding all the problems. Let’s leave this with the conclusion that THIS AWESOME MAGIC MIRROR works on Win-boxes too!
I like it!
Request: can you add a SCALE factor? Right now the image is considerably larger than I can accommodate… (yes, minor problem, I know). Maybe I have to mess with the custom.css?
Anyway, apart from that small inconvenience, I like it.
Looks interesting.
Request: Multiple email accounts?
OR - better still since I just need the ALERT: any way I can just get a NUMBER of emails I need to read:
joeshmoe@gmail.com - 17 unread
suzieQ@public.com - 5 unread
UncleSam@gov.com - 0 unread
I’ll have a look at your module once I sort one other problem on my MM2 out.
@Mykle1 I have it on my working laptop (ie Win10) - slight pain, since I have to launch MM & it runs in a console in the background, so I regularly worry what that is :) I dumped it onto an old laptop (which actually works with Ubuntu!) & that headache is gone… Now I just glance over into the corner & know what I am working on (i LOVE Wunderlist). So it does work on Win10 and Ubuntu.
Good luck

Thx for updating the README.
Followed instructions (requested app-pwd since I have 2-factor authentication).
My config.js:
{
module: 'email',
position: 'bottom_left',
header: 'Email',
config:{
user: 'XXX@gmail.com',
password: '****************',
host: 'imap.gmail.com',
port: 993,
tls: true,
authTimeout: 10000,
numberOfEmails: 5,
fade: true
}
Restarted (NOT REBOOTED) Pi.
Got this:
Rebooted (just to be safe) - same result.
Just did a clean install on a brand new pi in about 5 minutes flat. COOL MODULE.
(still need to work on 2-auth, please. Plus I’ll want to change your config to make the display single line etc. I’ll look at the js file)
