      to copy and rename the config.js.sample file you write

      cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js

      to edit using nano with sudo

      sudo nano config/config.js

      based on that you are in the MagicMirror folder to start with.

        It created an empty config file. Should I just rewrite everything, but change the parts that I needed changed?

          @LeashP15 that’s odd, it shouldn’t be empty unless your sample file is empty.

          do this first

          rm config/config.js(It’s to remove the empty config.js file)

          and then do the copy again

          cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
