Issues enabling and starting my smart mirror

David 0

Hello Cédric I’m currently having issues starting the smart mirror when I give the command “npm start” the error signal and says this is related to npm not being able to find a file “no such file in directory, open ’ /home/mark/package.json” what should I do I would really appreciate your response.

HI @David-0 ,

npm start must been launched inside MagicMirror Folder

So, I advice to try this:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

Explains:

cd ~/MagicMirror : enter to MagicMirror folder

Note: ~ symbol mean /home/<user> in your case: /home/mark

npm start: read instructions from package.json file for launching a nodejs application (there MagicMirror)

Note: that why you have no package.json file in your personal home directory and naturally it can open it ! (no such file in directory, open ’ /home/mark/package.json)

Thanks for the response, but this command starts the normal smart mirror but not with Google assistant enabled am I supposed to use a different command for that too, I followed all the steps from this post https://youtu.be/z0SyoTldsAU
Am I supposed to do something else?

eventually, past all log of the console when you start MM²

A good idea go to hootie style channel YouTube follow install
And install GoogleAssistant . If go to wiki.bugsounet.fr/home
You can install it from their.

Hope this is some help .
