# Requirements
# Hardware
MagicMirror² is developed to run on a Raspberry Pi. It might (and will) run on various different types of hardware, but new versions will only be tested on a Raspberry Pi.
Electron, the app wrapper around MagicMirror², only supports the Raspberry Pi 2, 3 & 4. The Raspberry Pi 0/1 is currently not supported. If you want to run this on a Raspberry Pi 1, use the server only feature and setup a fullscreen browser yourself. (Yes, people have managed to run MM² also on a Pi0, so if you insist, search in the forums.)
# Operating System
Note that you will need to install the latest full version of Raspbian, don't use the Lite version.
If you want to run the software on other Operating Systems, take a look at this section
NOTE
You do need a desktop environment to run Electron!
Using a Lite Version of Raspbian will not work.
# Node
Although older version of Node might work, we suggest you use Node 16.
