Magic Mirror will not start
-
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.

@elporcho ‘permission denied’ sounds like you used
sudo npm install, which leaves files owned by root, not the normal pi user.Best to erase and start again
-
Sorry i’m pretty much a complete noob with linux. 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.
-
@elporcho from the home folder ( cd ~ ), do sudo -rf rm MagicMirror
Then clone the mm repo again, then cd MagicMirror, then npm install
-
I appreciate the help. I did sudo -rf rm MagicMirror and it gave the the following error:
rm: cannot remove ‘MagicMirror’: Is a directory
I also tried rmdir, but it says Directory not empty. -
Seems that I’ve got it re-installed, but now npm install still does nothing. -
I was going to follow the instructions here for auto-starting magic mirror:

Huh, it appears the work i did before deleting and reinstalling the MagicMirror directory for the auto-start held over and it is working now. Thanks for dealing with me!
