Amazing tutorial. Simple, clean and straight to the point. I also love the comedic parts :)

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Thanks Jamie, I appreciate the comment! :)

[@jamesmoyer7284]

Yes this was a great introduction to the MM2 software. it helped me get started and fix the weather Mod. In depth stuff will be welcomed.

[@programmerwayne]

I'm just starting my MM2 project; thank you for your insights into how the modules work.

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Well thank you for the nice comment! 😄

[@japan743]

Thanks you very much from France, your video is very clear and it seems more easy for me. i will try this week end to install magicmirror at home. Congratulations. Regards

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Makes me very happy that you find it helpful! Good luck and let me know how it goes buddy 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@kappatvating]

this was sooooo helpful. I made a mirror then tried to fix the weather and i guess i broke the code but your channel was certainly fantastic and helped me get started... now if only it would not delete when i turn on

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Never give up, never surrender! You'll get there. 😆 Glad I could help out, and thanks for your kind words 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Videogame9559]

HI out of all the magic mirror 2 installations videos you are one of the best with explaining everything only Coroline dunn did one 3 or 4 years ago that matched yours but your is update 2023 i built one then but drop it and the screen broke a laptop screen but its essayer to us an old TV with HDMI on it or old monitor it depends on you budget. keep up the great videos

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Thanks for your kind words James, and thanks for following us on future adventures 😄👍🏼

This is wicked helpful, thank you!

You're welcome! 😄

[@stevehind7318]

Wow amazing video dude, thank you for making this process clearer, I'm not familiar with writing code or even terminal style workflow so this video really made things easy for me :)

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Glad to hear Steve! 😊 Keep an eye out for how to add a voice assistant to your mirror!

[@stephenlightkep1621]

Thanks I got on the first try. Big improvement for me I guess I am retaining some stuff in my one brain cell. But it was probably the way you explained it. Thanks again

[@HootieStyleChannel]

My pleasure 👍🏼

[@Mexxee]

Thank you for all your videos! Thinking of making a smart mirror my self 👍🏽

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

Hello bro. Please provide a tutorial on how to use a PIR sensor to the Magic mirror to allow the monitor to only turn on when motion is detected, I have searched the entire you I could find a proper guide. I’ll really appreciate if you can respond

[@joedmenzies744]

Hi there it appears on the magic Mirror documentation. They’ve changed how to install nodejs so how do I install it? Because I don’t know how to?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Time has been a rare resource lately 😅 I'll look into this.

[@TerryV-kj2xk]

At 11.02 ,how are you cleaning that up and moving the lines over?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Not sure what you mean exactly. I just right click and paste, then just move cursor with keyboard arrows and press enter and correct spacing with tab :)

[@danielmendez2]

I love this guide.thanks you

[@HootieStyleChannel]

You're welcome, Daniel! 😊

[@jamesharris6062]

Thanks showing position of the configuration file add this always helps newbies and me thanks great video's

Wow truly amazing , you made it so easy for me with your step by step for a newbe like me . Cheers my friend

[@HootieStyleChannel]

You're very welcome Peter! 🤗

[@peterafong4600]

hey how do i get magic mirror to start after installing magic mirror softwear and shutting it down ?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Hi Peter, just type cd MagicMirror and then npm start, just like in the video. 👍🏼

[@peterafong4600]

@@HootieStyleChannel Thank you I got it done, you make it so easy

super helpful video, thank you

[@wrsdz]

Wow Dude that is the best tutorial I’ve seen as a complete nob. Need to try this out . Big thanks

[@HootieStyleChannel]

I should put your comment in my resume 😄 Good luck dude, and let me know how it goes! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@danielhampson5918]

Hi, any Idea when the next Episode will be online. I am very anxious to follow your Tutorial in vocie recognision and Module notifications.

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Hello Daniel! Happy you like the videos! Don't be anxious though, more episodes are on the way 😅 Voice recognition is already in the pipeline but I will add module notifications to the list. Action. Drama. Excitement. See you soon 👍🏼

[@danielhampson5918]

@@HootieStyleChannel Glad to hear that. I have got a Magic mirror Set Up, using room-assistant and rhasspy, communicating with my openhab. I Just can't get these notifications to Work with mqtt.

[@syedhyder5630]

With Amazon alexa having added many restrictions, can you please walk me through installing any of the voice control modules which would work for the present time. Will be great to get a part of your knowledge.

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Sure buddy, I'll look into an episode just about that. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@utkarshtagade4349]

After magic mirror installed i shutdown Rpi & when i restart whole terminal is blank npm start command shows error can tell me solution????

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Yo Utkarsh! If I had to guess you're not in the magic mirror folder. Make sure you type 'cd MagicMirror' if that's your install folder and run npm start in that folder! Good luck 👍🏼

[@yurimatyuk4286]

Your video can be called a magic kick. Thanks a lot.

[@HootieStyleChannel]

✌️🏼😁 Glad you like it!

[@edgarsandoval2418]

What programming language does it use

[@bobvandigriff1425]

"npm run install-mm" returns with "command not found"...what do I do?

[@bobvandigriff1425]

nvmd, I got it figured out and as usual it was a "me" problem.

[@francescosanna9705]

great video, thanks

[@HootieStyleChannel]

You're welcome! 😁

[@maxawsometheguy2870]

Hey does this work for a dual monitor set up?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Never tried it but I think there are a few who made it work. Check magic mirror forums 👍🏼

[@AsidsTechTips]

awesome dude. cheers

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Glad you like what we do! 😊👍🏼

[@boeingpete]

Brilliant!!

[@DjLundbladh]

is it possible to edit config from windows thru like smb?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Hey there! Yes, but you'd still need to restart MM for the effects to take place. Easiest way is to install Gateway by bugsounet. You'll get a web interface for editing config and a restart button. 🍻

[@DjLundbladh]

@@HootieStyleChannel Thank you :)

[@jeffmarsh5468]

I know this comment comes a year after you made this video. Which is great. However they seem to have changed the first step in the installing the Nodejs. So now I have to figure out how to install the node. Also when I went to git hub and copied and pasted the code it said no such file :(

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it 😊

[@kkbdub]

I’ve seen people use raspberry pi zero for magic mirror, is that legit?

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Hey Klove and welcome to HSC! Yes, it can be done, but it's not a straight forward installation. Also, you won't get smooth animations with Zero, so unless you absolutely have to, I'd go with something more powerful.

[@TechAi64]

thanks chief ❤❤😊😊

[@HootieStyleChannel]

My pleasure boss 😊🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@amateur87]

I'm doing everything the same way and getting permission denied after npm install

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Try sudo npm install

[@amateur87]

@@HootieStyleChannel I did format the sd card and started everything again, instead of 'npm run instal-mm' like in the guide on website I've used 'npm install' and it worked

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Glad you figured it out man 😊👍🏼

[@Nayebharatkanirman]

Sir I got error when I was running the nmp start it shows electron not found what to do?? It's my final year project I have submit it within week so plz give me solution

[@HootieStyleChannel]

Hey Rajendra, it's almost impossible to know what you've missed. I suggest you redo the steps from the beginning and make sure you don't miss anything. You can check your terminal after each run command to exclude errors. It's a pretty straight forward installation process. Good luck!

[@Nayebharatkanirman]

@@HootieStyleChannel I follow many times a same step

[@Nayebharatkanirman]

Can I get your contact by which I send the error what I got
