          @elaineezhu hm… shouldn’t matter… but won’t take long… try my new updated installer (part of next
          release)

          see the instruction here

          https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer

          rename the current MagicMirror folder out of the way

              @elaineezhu ok, I think i fixed the greadlink problem…

              but you MUST rename the MagicMirror folder 1st… this is INSTALL, assumes first time…

              later there will be a new update script (to move to next version)

              just fyi, I added the compliment config to my MM on Mac catalina and it works as expected

                  @elaineezhu yes, as long as it is not MagicMirror

                  MagicMirror.save, .old, .previous, junk… whatever

                    @sdetweil i tried using the bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)” command again, but it still doesn’t work. it shows the same feedback as before. i’ve also renamed the magic mirror folder

                                  @elaineezhu well then , this explains the original problem…

                                  the config in the ACTUAL ~/MagicMirror is not being changed, u were editing some OTHER magicmirror folder.

                                  cause the $HOME/MagicMirror folder still exists

                                      All have to is copy the config.is.samples to your so you clear copy.
                                      Just rename the file config.js and it will. Work if you muck it up you have a copy in you document to start over
                                      Again just remember to make a copy again.
