UNSOLVED Any youtube tutorials?
-
Really struggling with the whole project. I’m pretty sure I’ve deleted wifi off of my Raspberry Pi. npm start just never worked and I’ve destroyed the config file countless times. Any help would be appreciated.

Not a YouTube, but perhaps this can help you:

Hows it going? I myself is a total amateur also, so I can relate to the struggle.

Don’t feel bad a couple months ago I was a total noob at this too.
Here’s what I did… I read… alot. If you get an error either come here and ask OR look it the exact error on the internet… you’d be shocked to find how many times that error has happened
Next do this -> GO HERE…
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
There are two sets of instructions…
*Easy install- Manual install -> I found that this worked best for me…
Remember it’s not a race, take your time… drink a coffee and relax. We’ll do what we can to help get you there.
IF you have questions or find you just can’t figure it out we’ll help you
Rule #1… ALWAYS…ALWAYS…ALWAYS… DO THIS BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR CONFIG.JS FILE
If you have a working config.js file before you make ANY changes to it ----->cd ~/MagicMirror/config cp config.js config.bakThat way if you have any issues when you make changes you have a backup to look at to see where you went wrong or you can just delete the config.js file and …
cp config.bak config.jsThen it’s working again!
NEVER delete the config.js.sample file… in the beginning I found this to be VERY helpeful to reference.
Common mistakes in config.js files… missing commas or missing { }
As for install issues they happen… generally [and don’t get offended please]
because something gets skipped.@MichMich has done an excellent job with the instructions on that page so they do work very well.
Hang in there…

What helps if you have issues with your config file is to pass it into http://jshint.com.
It should give no errors, other than one minor warning which probably states:One undefined variable moduleAll other errors should be fixed before your config is able to work properly.
