<![CDATA[First time install]]>I’m following the first time manual install guide here

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html

So I’ve installed raspberry pi os. (it doesn’t say this on the guide… But I assume that’s how I get terminal up and running?

I’ve then followed the steps… When I input npm install… I get an error saying -bash: npm: command not found…

Can you help?

I got to the end of your install and my power went out.

I’d just selected yes to boot to the mirror and I think pm2?

Was that the end of your script and is there a way for me to go back to run that install…
