First time install

[jste84]

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?

[jste84]

I just don’t understand why this isn’t working…

Frustration 😓

in the terminal .
cd …
cd …
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
cd MagicMirror/
npm install

is that going oke???

[jste84]

@JerryP it tells me MagicMirror already exists…

I can change directory to it… But npm install fails

Fresh install of buster on what hardware?

[sdetweil]

@jste84 rename the magicmirror folder to something else. then run my script
see here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

npm isn’t installed all the time. u did use the desktop pi os, yes?

[jste84]

@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]

@jste84 in my scripts is fixuppm2,

run that

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

Cheers
