. . . Happy 4th of july!
Peace!
You have more than a few problems going on there. Did you install your dependencies? I would try that first. Did you have the mirror running at all and it later failed when you added something? Or have you not got it to run at all?
Personally, if installing the dependencies is not the problem, I would do a whole new installation manually, installing the latest node and npm first, then installing the dependencies, then try to running the mirror with the defaults before trying to edit anything.
You shouldn’t have to run sudo
to launch the mirror. The installation guide states, “DO NOT INSTALL MagicMirror² as the root user! Always do it as the regular, non privileged pi user.”
With that being said, is your console reporting any errors? cd into your MagicMirror directory and run npm start dev
and see what you get there

@MMRPi1 said in Magic Mirror on the Raspberry Pi 1, agonizingly difficult:
Is it advisable to turn the raspberry pi off (and turn off the magic mirror) by switching it off at the mains, and if not how would I turn it off and on?
First, shutdown the Pi correctly. Once you’ve shutdown the Pi correctly you can pull the power cord, OR
you can install some sort of power switch.
In my case, I simply used a mini power strip inside the mirror itself. Once I’ve shut down my Pi correctly, I simply reach under my mirror and hit the power switch on the mini power strip. This also powers down the fan that I have sitting on the Pi. When you’re ready to start your mirror again, you simply hit the power switch on the mini power strip again and everything comes back on.
