that’s a good idea… Let me try that.

Cheers for the help

Hopefully it’s not too late to help save you (and others) some time and worry.

I just updated my install using ‘git pull && npm install’ and it actually aborts if it detects the update will overwrite files you’ve changed (pretty awesome feature imo).

Also, you don’t need to copy your main folder or even move any files elsewhere - all you need to do is rename the files it says would be overwritten with the update, and you can leave them in the same folder.
For instance, it said my main.css had changes and would be overwritten. I just renamed it to main2.css and left it where it was (and did similarly to a few other files).

After updating to the latest MM, I just went to the css folder, opened up that file (sudo nano main2.css), then saved it overwriting the newly updated version (saved to main.css).
That’s all I did for the few files I had customized and upon restart, all of my changes were present. Good luck!

Actually it wasn’t a matter of overwriting files. That I could figure out. I couldn’t even do a git pull During the automatic installation a .git file wasn’t created or initialised. Worked out in the end thought… Just a massive ball ache.

Well, tried renaming, then installing a new MagicMirro via git clone and then run npm install and its totally gone tits up.

Ah well just going to wipe the SD card and start again. Thankfully have all my stuff backed up.

Yeah still doesn’t work. I’ve done git init then tried both git pull && npm install with and without sudo and I get the following:

pi@MagicMirrorPi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
pi@MagicMirrorPi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo git pull && npm install
fatal: No remote repository specified.  Please, specify either a URL or a
remote name from which new revisions should be fetched.
pi@MagicMirrorPi:~/MagicMirror $ 

@Mykle1

Sorry I get the same error message if I use sudo as well. I guess i’ll backup all the files I’ve changed do a git init then see what happens.

Nope did the automatic install.

Hi all,

I’m trying to update my MagicMirror but have two issues:

1. When I type in sudo git pull && npm install to try update I get fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git. The current directory I am in is /home/Pi/MagicMirror. So not sure if I have to do a init git command?

2. If and when I do update I’ve made some changes to the modules I’ve installed. Is the best way, to temporarily copy them some where else then copy them back after the update?

Thanks in advance

Any update on this? I’m also using office365 calendar and my Calendar randomly stopped working. I’ve tried the node debug.js and just get the below. @MichMich @KirAsh4

pi@rpi3:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar $ sudo node debug.js
