# MagicMirror V2
This version of the Magic Mirror software focusses on a modular plugin system. Besides that, the Magic Mirror software now also uses [Electron](http://electron.atom.io/), so no more webserver or browser installs necessary.

#WARNING: THIS VERSION IS IN A VERY EARLY STAGE. IT IS NOT COMPLETED YET. PLEASE USE THE MASTER BRANCH.

##Usage 
1. Download the latest node version:
`wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v5.10.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz` for Pi 1
`wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/node-v5.10.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz` for Pi 2
2. Unpack file `tar -xvf filename`
3. Install `cd foldername && sudo cp -R * /usr/local/`
4. Set loglevel `npm config set loglevel info`
5. `npm install && npm start` (You may have to restart your terminal before this works)

**Important:** `npm start` does NOT work via SSH you have to execute it in a terminal session running in a window-manager.

##Configuration
1. Duplicate `config/config.js.sample` to `config/config.js`.
2. Modify your required settings.

##Todo
Things that still have to be implemented or changed.

####Main
- Allow show/hide animations to animate the height. This way the other modules won't jump around.

####Alert
- Vertical centering of alerts
- Rewrite the alert module in vanilla JavaScript

####Documentation
- Write all the documentation. :)
