pgrep Xorg

open a terminal window, or ssh session

same place u would run npm start

what pi is this? pi 0 has no electron version anymore.

the system is running in graphical desktop mode correct?

is xwindows running, do this command pgrep Xorg should return a number

Can you provide the contents of the debug log: /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2021-02-12T10_46_13_145Z-debug.log

If you’re running this on windows remove DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" from package.json start script

hmmm.Looks like the start script is broken.Try re-installing MagicMirror

Hi @CherryChethanm did you copy the sample config.js?
