    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

                  @EttVenter just remove the directory magicmirror again that you created and run the command curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash as it is in the readme after it was successful do cd MagicMirror

                    @strawberry-3.141 said in Total n00b and can’t get this thing to work. Please help!:

                    cd MagicMirror

                    That was going well until:

                    Cloning MagicMirror Done!
                    Installing dependencies ...

                    Honestly, this process is awful. “All you need to do is run 1 command!”. 1 command my ass. I’ve been fidgeting with this thing for a full day and I haven’t even got this frikken thing installed yet.

                    I’m really, really stoked that you guys are all helping me. Really. And I know that we’ll get this thing working. But the “packaging” kinda lied to me.
