@eugenelai sounds like you downloaded the mirror manually and didn’t use git clone.

Sorry I get the same error message if I use sudo as well. I guess i’ll backup all the files I’ve changed do a git init then see what happens.

@strawberry-3.141
Nope did the automatic install.

Ok, but I said you should NOT have to use sudo to run those commands

Yeah still doesn’t work. I’ve done git init then tried both git pull && npm install with and without sudo and I get the following:

pi@MagicMirrorPi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
pi@MagicMirrorPi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo git pull && npm install
fatal: No remote repository specified.  Please, specify either a URL or a
remote name from which new revisions should be fetched.
pi@MagicMirrorPi:~/MagicMirror $

Personally, if this was me, I would rename my existing MagicMirror folder, install the new MagicMirror via git clone, run npm install in the new MagicMirror folder, then move what I want from the old MagicMirror installation into the new installation.

NO SUDO necessary

@Mykle1 Yes that would be the easiest way to do it!

@Mykle1

that’s a good idea… Let me try that.

Cheers for the help

@eugenelai It will save you endless headaches…

Well, tried renaming, then installing a new MagicMirro via git clone and then run npm install and its totally gone tits up.

Ah well just going to wipe the SD card and start again. Thankfully have all my stuff backed up.
