      how would I copy a sample file.

      This is a new install so I’m pretty sure I did it manually. I did git clone and npm install myself

      P.s Jeez that was a fast response

        @Mahieedabos please see the steps

        https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#manual-installation

        in the future u may want to try my scripts for install and update
        which were removed from version 2.11, but listed in the alternative install section
        https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#alternative-installation-methods

        you run the scripts directly from the repo , see the readme

                            @Mahieedaboss said in "Npm start" doesn't work:

                            when copied and pasted and run did nothing

                            it does not display any output, it just copies (cp) one file to another

                              @Mahieedaboss as you don’t have much experience at the linux terminal window, I suggest you run my automated install script…

                              do

                              cd ~
                              rm -rf MagicMirror
                              bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
