Hey @kurt !, the last sentence you are run in your Mac not in your Raspberry

kurt

@roramirez

roramirez

@kurt No, when you run cd command you are still in your Mac

-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

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.

roramirez

@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.

Well I’m absolut not comfortable with transfering files or scripts without the help of an grafical surface.
I´m absolute new to work with commands on a terminal.
So the all the commands I type into the terminal Ijust learned from guys like you just a couple of days ago.
When you change the content, lets say from an config.js via SSH. What kind of tools do you use?
Because when I opened the folders of my Raspberry with the help of FileZilla, changed the content and tried to save, the MM system collapsed somehow.
So my question how do you that?
Thanks a lot for the help

kurt

@roramirez
Well as I explained in the reply to morozgrafik i’m used to GUI and for me it’s fine doing things by drag and drop…
I apreciate your work and input into this projekt a lot!
What is your opinion to run the installer by the sudo command like alostvagabond postet it in https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/577
I’ll start my atempt #3 in the afternoon :)
Thanks a lot for your help
