Initial Install

[Brownlkt]

Hello all. Let me preface this by saying I’m a noob. I’m working through the install and when trying to manually download and install the latest Node.js I’m a bit stuck. There use to be a line to copy and now it directs you to documentation and I’m a bit stuck on what to use. I have a raspberry pi 3b. I know I should use Linux documentation but not sure where to go from there. Again I’m still learning so apologies in advance for the noob question. Any help would be much appreciated

@Brownlkt use my script, mentioned as the 1st alternative install method

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

make a new SD card, boot, set the userid, network, skip updates, reboot
enable ssh

connect from your PC, copy/paste the install command from the web page.

answer a couple questions later

@sdetweil Thanks! Giving it a go now.

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your help. I was trying to do it manually but I’m clearly not there yet ;-) Much appreciation from someone still in the learning phase.

@Brownlkt glad you made progress.

lots to know at the beginning. some of it more tricky than it should be.
