    Perhaps I should also mention that during the installation process, I noticed a warning saying:

    “this version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1 but package-lock.json was generated for lockfileVersion@2”

    I don’t know if this helps someone but I thought I’d mention it just in case.

      @dodo you are using the full desktop version of buster, correct?

      you should see the temples on the desktop before installing MagicMirror

          @sdetweil Thank you for that, I’ll try it.
          Do I need to uninstall everything and then run your scripts?
          Also, I have installed MM using the user “alex” instead of “pi”. Do I need to change anything in your scripts before I run them?

            @dodo just rename the MagicMirror folder to some other name

            u only need to run the install script
            it should handle different user name just fine

            u didn’t answer about the os version. needs to be full with graphical desktop

              @sdetweil Yes, full version with desktop.
              Just deleted the whole MagicMirror folder and run your script.
              It works PERFECTLY!

              I don’t know why this isn’t the default was of installation, it’s sooooo easier!
              Thank you for your assistance, much appreciated.

                  @sdetweil Yeah, I know. It should be the opposite, this method should be the default for dummies like myself!

                    not dummy, just inexperienced…

                    my script was from the base, but it wasn’t possible to update as frequently as we all needed.

                    my intent is to get you up and running.
