Installation issues

@sdetweil thanks for the response.
I went to the alternative installation methods and tried to run the automatic installation script but it asked me to update rasp OS. i did that using the script on their website: sudo apt full-upgrade which ran successfully but when i went back to try to run the automatic installation script it gives me the same error. any help would be great. -
@neo_anderson apt upgrade does not change your system to new version, only bring this version up to date
lsb_release -a
shows the os version detail
buster is 2 versions back
bullseye and bookworm since then, bookworm, the current version, has been out over a year now

@sdetweil Thanks. that makes sense. Im on buster. see below. I was searching how to upgrade to bookwork but from my understanding it’s not very simple. any recommendations?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster -
@sdetweil alternatively, is it simple better to format the pi and install bookworm from scratch?

yes, better to start with new base
backup MM config…
see my https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
make sure to copy backup folder (MM_backup) off or push to git
so you can have it for restore
