Mirror Update Permissions Error

@xxLulaBelle look at the help, does it need capital R, not near my computer

Apologies I don’t speak the language so I don’t understand it unfortunately but I did a capital R and got the following:
chown: invalid option – ‘r’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information. -
@xxLulaBelle
like this notice the dash - in front of the rsudo chown -R pi ~/.npm -
Hi,
Now getting this when I try to update.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull && npm install

@xxLulaBelle we don’t care about the package-lock.json file
but the package.json maybe
do
git diff package.jsonto see what was changed.
my update script, from here, https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts, might have helped.

@sdetweil said in Mirror Update Permissions Error:

@xxLulaBelle usually when I have this issue i run the following the the MagicMirror folder:
git reset --hard
then
git pull && npm install
That works for me and I am able to update
