Error Installing Dependencies Permission Denied

I have rebooted, swapped to ethernet, and reinstalled. But I haven’t signed into github. Do you really need to sign in to clone something? If so how do you sign in through the CLI?

@buckgup

I really don’t know, was just a suggestion…

not quite understanding why its telling you permission denied…

what command did you use?

git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git

then… npm install ?

@justjim1220 Yes this is what I have done. Do I need to be root to install? I am using sudo so it should anyways

you can’t install in Desktop… its protected…

use your home folder… then make a shortcut to start the mirror

@sdetweil Alright thank you. Will try this. By default does it install to desktop or is it because I ran it when I was on the desktop?

@buckgup It installed into desktop because that’s the folder you were in when you ran the git command. So:

cd /home/pug
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror
npm install
