This may seem dumb but if not done properly, you may end up with a card showing you less available storage than it actually has on it. Section 5: Installing MagicMirror² & Configuring Raspberry Pi for MagicMirror² Section 4: Cleaning up and updating the operating system Section 3: Configuring wireless networking Section 2: Booting up the Raspberry Pi and configuring it ![]() Section 1: Preparing the SD card with the operating system After all, you will need that to set it up, but even at the end, installing MagicMirror², it is assumed you are doing that directly on the Raspberry Pi, and not through a remote SSH login. This entire tutorial is based on you having physical access to the Raspberry Pi.“But why?”, you ask, “… if it’s in my house, and on my network, and not on the internet.” That’s all fine, however we don’t control every possible module that others contribute and someone, or something, could expose your Raspberry Pi, or your entire network to the outside world. DO NOT INSTALL MagicMirror² as the root user!

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.

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. ![]()
