      Hello magic mirror forum

      Background info

      Please forgive me for asking very basic questions I am very new to the Raspberry Pi and Linux, I have been trying to read through doucmentation and various forums for the last hour and a half and can’t seem to get to the bottom of this issue so I was hoping someone might be kind enough to help me out.

      I have used the auto install method for the MagicMirror.

      curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
      

      I have then browsed through the files and changed the config file to

      config.js
      

      I used the windows browser rather than using the command line to change the file name (I’m not sure if this matters but thought I would mention it just in case.

      Problem

      When I type this in to the command line

      ~ $ cd MagicMirror/config
      

      I get the following message

      bash: /home/pi: Is a directory
      

      Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I fix it please?

      Thanks for your help :)

        Rather than

        ~ $ cd MagicMirror/config
        

        just type

        cd MagicMirror/config
        

        What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

          Hi thanks for the reply,

          I actually see the glaringly obvious mistake I made.

          ~ $ was already at the command line and I was retyping it.

          Thanks for helping me with this @in_a_days.

          I am now having a new issue getting the MagicMirror to start. I wondered if you might look over the problem. You can read about it here
