# Installation

The easiest way to install the smart mirror is via the 1-line installation script for the Pi (or other systems) This script will install the smart mirror and it's dependencies:

```
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evancohen/smart-mirror/master/scripts/pi-install.sh | bash
```

Once that script finishes running (\~15 minutes on a standard connection) you'll want to [configure the mirror](/configuration.md).

> Using another platform?\
> Something went wrong with the install?\
> Want to do things the old fashioned way?

That's OK. That's why there are manual installation instructions:

* [Install Raspberry Pi OS](/installation/installing_raspbian.md)
* [Install dependencies and run](/installation/install_dependencies.md)
