#RASPBERRY PI 4 MAGIC MIRROR 2 INSTALL#

DO NOT INSTALL MagicMirror² as the root user! Always do it as the regular, non privileged pi user and learn to use the sudo command instead.What you use is up to you, however keep in mind that any screen captures I take and any software I use during this process will be from a Windows 10 platform. I will be using my Windows 10 system for the initial setup of the card containing the operating system.I will be running this wirelessly and will make a note of it again in the setup part.it cuts down on the cords needed to be connected to the device itself. And this one in particular is also rather thin. They’re smaller than a regular sized one. I use a mini keyboard for any/all of my projects that require a temporary solution.Monitor and choice of cable is obviously up to you.has a comprehensive list of what’s tested and works. Since the entire OS runs off of it, get a fast one. You don’t need a 2.4Amp one, but I wouldn’t go below 2Amps.

The Raspberry Pi 3 needs a hefty power supply to run.

Mini 2.4G Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo ( eBay).

8GB Sandisk Ultra Class 10 MicroSDHC card ( Amazon).Raspberry Pi 3 - Model B - ARMv8 with 1GB of RAM ( Adafruit).You can buy them wherever you buy your daily dose of electronics. I list them because that’s where I got the parts from. Note: I have no affiliation with the listed vendors. I will however link each post back into this one in the correct order, so you’d be able to just click on the link and jump straight to that specific post. I will try to keep things in order but that’s no guarantee. What will follow this post will be a series of steps to go from taking a brand new raspberry Pi 3 out of the box to having MagicMirror² up and running.
