Cant run Magic Mirror as sudo

[ardboer]

Magic Mirror works fine but with this module I need to run it as sudo but when I do DISPLAY=:0 sudo npm start it throws a lot of errors and doesnt work. Can anyone help me run Magic Mirror as sudo so I can use this awesome Swipe module?

put sudo before the DISPLAY=:0 npm
as in sudo DISPLAY=:0 npm

run
sudo cp ~/.Xauthority /root/
then
DISPLAY=:0 sudo npm start
