      Hello :)

      I’m trying to build my own MagicMirror. I’m quiet a beginner in coding and want to learn it by
      doing. I saw the project of the MagicMirror and I wanted to try it.

      After trying a bit on my own I found this link to install it.
      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

      I did it step by step. I installed npm everything was fine. But the next step doesn’t work.
      The Pi gives me the comment in the title.

      I didn’t change anything in the code cause I wanted it to run before I start to change things.
      cp: cannot stat ‘/config/config.js.sample’ : No such file or directory
      Someone got a clue what I’m doing wrong?
      I’m doing it inside the MagicMirror folder with cp ~/MagicMirror
      The file is avaible in the File Manager under /home/pi/MagicMirror/

      Thanks for reading :)
      Kind regards,
      Fabian

          Same problem here. I’ve followed the tutorial step by step, but no config folder and file are present! Any idea?

            @fabrang looks like it is looking for the config folder in the root folder - not /home/pi/MagicMirror.

            What exactly is the command you are running when you get this error?
