    Anyone else got any ideas? Really want to get this thing going. I bought the Pi yesterday specifically for this :(

      @EttVenter I would suggest a total reformatting of the SD card, get the Jessie lite image and put that on your sd card.

      Then follow these instructions : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

          Ok, so that all went well until I got to:

          Get and install MagicMirror with the Automatic Installer:
          
          curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash cd ~/MagicMirror
          

          At which point, I get “No such file or directory”.

          That feels like a small error that I should be able to figure out, but I just can’t seem to get past that point :/

            @EttVenter and if you run curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh
            Without the bash cd command?

                @EttVenter you have to use the | bash part, because what is doing is the following, curl will load the script from github and then you pipe it right into the bash command to execute the script otherwise you would just load the file

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                  @strawberry-3.141 Ok so what do I do then? Because if I run the command with the bash part of the command, it tells me “No such file or directory”. So how do I solve that?

                    @EttVenter did you probably start the command from a wrong directory? do cd ~ first
