This version of the Magic Mirror software focusses on a modular plugin system. Besides that, the MagicMirror² 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
#### Automatic Installer (Raspberry Pi Only!)
Execute the following command on your Raspberry Pi to install MagicMirror²:
````
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/v2-beta/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
````
#### Manual Installation
1. Download and install the latest Node.js version.
2. Clone the repository and check out the beta branch: `git clone -b v2-beta https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror`
3. Enter the repository: `cd ~/MagicMirror`
4. Install and run the app: `npm install && npm start` (You may have to restart your terminal before this works!)
**Important:** `npm start` does **not** work via SSH, use `DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &` instead. This starts the mirror on the remote display.
#### Server Only
In some cases, you want to start the application without an actual app window. In this case, exectute the following command from the MagicMirror folder: `node serveronly`. This will start the server, after which you can open the application in your browser of choice.
