      @johnnyboy if you need to rename a file mv config.template.yaml config.yaml. If that doesn’t work, put sudo in front of it.

                @johnnyboy i have no idea how this file looks, but if it is like

                token = ...
                #token = ...
                

                you should remove it

                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                  @johnnyboy so sorry for late reply. Only now got the chance to look for the config.yaml file.

                  Yes, my config.template.yaml is (same as yours) in opt/Alexapi/src.

                  However my config.yaml file is in etc/opt/Alexapi.
                  Thats the only file in that folder.

                  Is that what you were looking for?

                  Best regards / David

                    @Davepre don’t worry about the template one. Just edit the one in ‘’‘/etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml’‘’

                        @johnnyboy i think you may be trying too hard. I followed the instructions to a T and haven’t had any problems. I had to reset my Pi twice after installing other modules that use sound… such as MMM-Voice. This module ruined my AlexaPi. I started my Pi over after installing that one because it ruined my sound profile. You may just need to figure out what you want to do with the mirror and install only those things. That’s what I did. After resetting my Pi 3 times and starting over each time, I’ve got it exactly the way I want it. when I move coming up in the next month, I’m going to make a touch screen family board for the kitchen kind of like this out of a Smart Screen. Then I’m going to buy an Alexa-powered remote control for my home entertainment center from Logitech that let’s you say, “Alexa, turn on the TV.” It should be fun.
