You are welcome to use this guide as a buffet, and skip parts if you already know them or are seeking something specific. I’ll also give you some tips to optimize your setup overall. In this guide, I’ll give you a brief introduction about the Magic Mirror project, then we’ll see the best installation method (several are available), and then I’ll take some time to explain the configuration that is not especially intuitive (like tweaking things and adding new fun modules). If you are interested in this project and need more information, keep reading! This is why I decided to write the ultimate installation guide to set up a Magic Mirror.
After trying it myself, I noticed that the official documentation is a bit complex for beginners to follow, and other guides don’t help that much. Building a Magic Mirror is one of the most popular projects on Raspberry Pi, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better documented.
