Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.

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.
