Magic Mirror for Raspbian Lite

A quick and easy, single command to setup Magic Mirror on Raspbian Lite. This script will install all required dependencies and a minimal GUI to run MagicMirror on Raspbian Lite (non-desktop version).

Quick Setup

Simply run the command on your Raspberry Pi (this has been tested on Pi Zero W).

NOTE: This script can take a while as it updates Rasbian package manager and pulls in all dependencies.

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pureartisan/magic-mirror-raspbian-lite/master/install.sh?$(date +%s))"

You will be asked a upto 3 questions, and then everything will happen autoamtically. Sit back and relax, or go have a coffee! :)

Minimum Requirements

It is expected that you have the following already setup:

  • Raspbian Lite installed
  • The Raspberry Pi has an active internet connection
  • You have something better to do while the script does it's magic!!! :)

What does this do?

This script sets up the following in your Raspbian Lite setup:

  • X11 (minimal GUI required to run a browser)
  • Chromium (using fullscreen chromium kiosk mode)
  • Node (required by MagicMirror)
  • MagicMirror
  • Plymouth (pretty splash screens used by MagicMirror)
  • Auto login to Raspberry Pi
