starter problem # 2

@morozgrafix
hey by now the MM startet without error massages! kind of strange, but I get used to it.
Then I copied the confi.js file to send it to you, maybe you can find a mistake.
But after that all of my MM folder is gone ! this what happened to me 3 days ago.
Can#t believe, but that’s how it is . everything gone.
I can only blame FileZilla for that. Iguess I have to go to the Install routine for the third time. and I’m thru with Filzilla…
What do you think about it? can I restore something? I searched in all folders but coudn’t find anything.
Man I expected a hard way to go, but this is boring. What to do?
Thanks for waiting
Kurt

-bash: cd: /Users/kurt/MagicMirror: No such file or directory

@kurt Ok, is nothing there. Please use the installer script

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

If you using Jessie Lite will need install some packages as say link of @morozgrafix’s post

@roramirez
Thank you, that’s what i’ll do.
But do you have any idea, why this happens. Just to avoid to make the same mistake again.
I intend to use Cyber Duck for transfering folders or scripts.
And I also use the VNC Viewer, just to see what happens next door, while I work on my mac in an other room.
And I think I’ll install the full Jessi Version.
So Thank’s once again! without you It engineers, students and helpers in this forum, users like me were just lost and couldn’t be part of this great projekt, which has just started…

if you are comfortable with using ssh and scp you may not even need any GUI tools to transfer files.

@kurt Well Jessie Lite dont have X system. X mean desktop system, GUI.

MagicMirror run in Electron and this require a DISPLAY system where show it.

We working in this topic to prevent you when is using in a system like that.
