You are using V2 configuration. It was updated recently to V3. Read the docs of MMM-Hotword and MMM-AssistantMk2.

@Sean said in The latest Install Guide (MM w/ Google Assistant):

MMM-Hotword

Ok thanks for your reply. So I have to install Hotword and AssistantMk2 in V3. I have to remove the older before ?
Thanks!

For AMK2, backup your credentials.json and profiles. Then, remove old one, reinstall freshly. (Don’t worry, It becomes easier with new installer)
For Hotword, I think git pull would be enough, but if you want, reinstall freshly.

@Sean Thanks! I test and I will tell you if everithings it’s okay!

Hi Huys, I am trying to follow this guide however I have trouble finding some of the folders after the install.

In Step 5: The path ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy does not exist. I found Snowboy in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/snowboy instead.

In Step 5 after installing the assistant, I cannot find the folder scripts in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2 to make them executable.

Does anyone have an idea why that could be? I am running the latest Rasbian Buster distribution.

Best Regards

MM and modules are changed often. So In some cases; following original instruction would be another way.

For MMM-Hotword and MMM-AssistantMk2, It was updated recently… (almost 1~2 months ago). Go to each repository, Read the docs, and follow the instruction to install.
