      how would I copy a sample file.

      This is a new install so I’m pretty sure I did it manually. I did git clone and npm install myself

      P.s Jeez that was a fast response

        @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
