—DESCRIPTION—
Building a Magic Mirror is one of the most popular project on Raspberry Pi, but not necessarily the better documented.
After trying it myself, I notice that the official documentation should be a bit complex to follow for beginners, and other guides doesn’t help that much.
That’s why I decided to create the ultimate installation guide to set up a Magic Mirror.
If you are want a general idea on how to setup this project, watch this video!
