<![CDATA[Initial Install]]>Hello all. Let me preface this by saying I’m a noob. I’m working through the install and when trying to manually download and install the latest Node.js I’m a bit stuck. There use to be a line to copy and now it directs you to documentation and I’m a bit stuck on what to use. I have a raspberry pi 3b. I know I should use Linux documentation but not sure where to go from there. Again I’m still learning so apologies in advance for the noob question. Any help would be much appreciated

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

make a new SD card, boot, set the userid, network, skip updates, reboot
enable ssh

connect from your PC, copy/paste the install command from the web page.

answer a couple questions later

lots to know at the beginning. some of it more tricky than it should be.

I was trying to do it manually but I’m clearly not there yet ;-) Much appreciation from someone still in the learning phase.
