    It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.

      My install was working great, but after an update it broke and after trying several fixes with no success I thought an easier route would be to just install again as a fresh start.

      I’ve renamed the MagicMirror folder on the Pi, and I’m using the following command to install

      bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

      However the install fails with this error

      It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
      To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
      Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

      Even after deleting the folder completely it still gives the same error.

      Does anyone have any ideas?

        @kellogg76 I’d format the card and then reinstall from scratch

          @kellogg76 - With the latest update of Raspbian, the installation script has not kept up with the changes. I would try a manual install instead.

          You’ve already deleted the folder, so run:

          cd ~
          git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
          cd MagicMirror
          npm install
          npm start
          

          Let us know if you hit any errors.
