      Hey guys,

      So I am using Cowboydude’s module for the PIR sensor to turn off and on the mirror. Following the instructions here

      https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/pir-sensor-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror/

      When I typed in “sudo chmod +x pir.py”, it says the directory or file cannot be found. I know it says to install it in the root folder but I do not know how to do that. So I improvised and used sudo mv after installing it into /root. I do not know if that would provide the same results. Could anyone give me some guidance?

        @anhanyoung said in PIR Sensor Install Problems:

        sudo mv after installing it into /roo

        mv is move… where did you move it to? if not in root…

        installing in root is either copy (cp) from somewhere else to / (root)
        or editing there with nano, vi, gedit or whatever editor you like or use

        root is really a bad place… but easy to find ls /

            @anhanyoung move (mv) moves single instance around

            Copy(cp) make another instance in another location.

            Depends on what u want to do.
