      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?

            @JerryP it tells me MagicMirror already exists…

            I can change directory to it… But npm install fails

                  @sdetweil so worst luck…

                  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…

                      @sdetweil thank you. I’ve got the mirror up and running… working on adding some modules now.

                      Cheers
