              @geo cut/paste is the generic term for the operations of marking the source, and transferring it to the destination

                        I will make it works dont worry!
                        First reinstall:
                        1- Run this command:
                        sudo rm -R MagicMirror
                        (that will rmove the Magic mirror from your system.
                        2- Run this command:
                        bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”
                        to install the new MagicMirror again.
                        3- make sure the config .js is there if not
                        run this command
                        nano MagicMirror/config/config.js
                        then copy between lines:

                        			}
                        		},
                        	]
                        };
                        
                        /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
                        if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
                        
                        

                        end: dont copy the line above ( you can fin the file in config dirctory under the name of config.js.sample. Just save it as config.js without sample)

                        4- start your Magic Mirror
                        First: cd MagicMirror
                        (to navigate to the Magic Mirror dirctory)
                        second run : npm start
                        Check if it works!

                        I will be helping you step by step even if you wants to add some modules.

                        Good luck!!!
