Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but to be honest, that’s an easy one that you can answer yourself with all the information you have in this thread already. You’re making the same mistake as yesterday.
Hint: Check where you are. Use “ls” (list content of current directory) and “cd”. Learn to read the path to know where you are.

@Duke86 said in Really confused:
I removed the folder and this happened
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ cd MagicMirror
bash: cd: MagicMirror: No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ nmp install
bash: nmp: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ ^C
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $u used “nmp install” instead of “npm install”
do exactly this:
cd
cd MagicMirror
npm install
wait for Installation complete. This will take a while. Just wait UNTIL u see the “pi@raspberrypi:” again and u are able to type new commands. Even if u can’t see an installation progress bar.
then typenpm start
or if u use ssh:DISPLAY=:0 npm start

thanks you it has worked up until it said I need a config file
-
I guess you have to create a config file. ;) Did you read the Readme @ https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror (scroll down a little)?
The MagicMirror, as the readme points out, comes with a config example. Create a config file by copying the example file with this command:
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
Use this command from the MagicMirror folder!
(The way this works is: copy | original/file.js | target/file.js) -
thanks, I think it works I will try now I really appreciate your help
I will put the code down belowpi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:checkmagicmirror@2.2.2 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
node tests/configs/check_config.jsChecking file… /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

Did you copy the config.js.example to config.js with the code above? Have you made any changes inside config.js yet?
Can youcd
into the config folder and tell us whatls
(list) is showing? -
-
follwed your guide still got the same messsage
-
In the sample config there is no line 96 !!!
don’t know what u did, but maybe u should read a little more accurate as doubleT said before. I don’t want to attack you.
Just delete your config file, copy this here and rename it to “config.js” and put it in your config folder. This should work
