It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.

My install was working great, but after an update it broke and after trying several fixes with no success I thought an easier route would be to just install again as a fresh start.

I’ve renamed the MagicMirror folder on the Pi, and I’m using the following command to install

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

However the install fails with this error

It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

Even after deleting the folder completely it still gives the same error.

Does anyone have any ideas?

@kellogg76 I’d format the card and then reinstall from scratch

@kellogg76 - With the latest update of Raspbian, the installation script has not kept up with the changes. I would try a manual install instead.

You’ve already deleted the folder, so run:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror
npm install
npm start

Let us know if you hit any errors.
