These instructions are specific to the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3

To get started I suggest a clean install of Raspbian. You can snag a fresh copy of Jessie w/ Pixel .

For instructions on how to install Raspbian see [How To Install Raspbian(full)](/docs/howto/how_to_install_raspbianfull.md).

You'll also need to install Node (v6.x) which now comes bundled with npm.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Getting the code

Next up you'll want to clone this repository into your user's home folder on your Pi:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/evancohen/smart-mirror.git
