Total n00b and can't get this thing to work. Please help!

Ok, I ran all of that. Once I ran the node -v and npm -v commands I was met with:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v v0.8.16 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v 1.1.69So I’m assuming I’m still on super old versions. Any idea why that’s happening? Because if I run npm install && npm start, I’m getting the same errors I was getting before.
Also - Jessie, not Jessie lite.
-
But you did not receive any error message during removal and installation?
-
@yawns Nope, no errors there.
-
Anyone else got any ideas? Really want to get this thing going. I bought the Pi yesterday specifically for this :(
-
@EttVenter I would suggest a total reformatting of the SD card, get the Jessie lite image and put that on your sd card.
Then follow these instructions : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide
-
I’ll give that a shot!
-
Ok, so that all went well until I got to:
Get and install MagicMirror with the Automatic Installer: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash cd ~/MagicMirrorAt which point, I get “No such file or directory”.
That feels like a small error that I should be able to figure out, but I just can’t seem to get past that point :/
-
@EttVenter and if you run
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh
Without the bash cd command? -
@broberg Then i get this:

@EttVenter you have to use the
| bashpart, because what is doing is the following, curl will load the script from github and then you pipe it right into the bash command to execute the script otherwise you would just load the file
