      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!
