Trying to create a magic mirror with google home integration through the use of the voice kit (1.0). I had issues with npm not being present at first, thought i fixed that, got pm2 installed and tried to get everything running, but it wont start at all. Now i’m pretty lost. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for dealing with me!

Seems that I’ve got it re-installed, but now npm install still does nothing.

rm: cannot remove ‘MagicMirror’: Is a directory
I also tried rmdir, but it says Directory not empty.

Then clone the mm repo again, then cd MagicMirror, then npm install

Should i be re-imaging the SD card, or is there a simpler way to clear out the installs i did wrong.

Also, what should i do instead of “sudo npm install”? I just followed instructions as I saw them, so I’m not even sure which installation you’re referring to. Sorry for my ignorance.

Best to erase and start again
