      @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)"
