@sdetweil - I will be running your script on a fresh Raspberry Pi 4 1GB w/Buster desktop in a couple minutes. I’ll report back. Thank you for your hard work.

Updated to add: Well, it took a couple days because I didn’t have an microHDMI to HDMI adapter. But once I picked one up, I was able to get onto the Pi. The installation script worked first time with no issues. Great job!

@sdetweil - Sorry, I thought the update to my post covered it. The installer worked like a charm. Thanks again for your hard work!

I used the regular method to install

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

and ran into below error

while searching on google came across this post. Now how do I proceed?

How do I uninstall previous version? and install this?

[sdetweil]

@Newbie007 rename the MagicMirror folder out of the way

What kind of pi are u using?

What kind of pi are u using?

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1

I don’t have to delete/uninstall previous one?

[sdetweil]

@Newbie007 no, just rename. If u are happy, just delete the older folder
