      Sorry i’m pretty much a complete noob with linux. Should i be re-imaging the SD card, or is there a simpler way to clear out the installs i did wrong.

      Also, what should i do instead of “sudo npm install”? I just followed instructions as I saw them, so I’m not even sure which installation you’re referring to. Sorry for my ignorance.

        @elporcho from the home folder ( cd ~ ), do sudo -rf rm MagicMirror

        Then clone the mm repo again, then cd MagicMirror, then npm install

          I appreciate the help. I did sudo -rf rm MagicMirror and it gave the the following error:
          rm: cannot remove ‘MagicMirror’: Is a directory
          I also tried rmdir, but it says Directory not empty.

            Seems that I’ve got it re-installed, but now npm install still does nothing.

              I was going to follow the instructions here for auto-starting magic mirror:

                Huh, it appears the work i did before deleting and reinstalling the MagicMirror directory for the auto-start held over and it is working now. Thanks for dealing with me!
