@sdetweil ohhhhh okay i get it. i’ve tried to edit the actual magicmirror folder (i think i might’ve had 2 or 3) and now it works! thank you so much for all your help :) i appreciate it!

@sdetweil this is the magic mirror folder that i renamed?

@sdetweil this is what shows up

@sdetweil

@sdetweil i tried using the bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)” command again, but it still doesn’t work. it shows the same feedback as before. i’ve also renamed the magic mirror folder

@sdetweil do i rename the folder to anything i want?

@sdetweil this is what happens when i try to use your code

@sdetweil i believe manually, using the instructions here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/810/total-beginner-mm2-with-macmini/3

@sdetweil i think so? it’ll open in electron

@sdetweil editing the code as in editing the config.js file.
that’s what happens when i do pm2 restart 0 and pm2 status

@sdetweil hm, i’ve done that but the compliments displayed are still the default one, even after editing the code.

@sdetweil yeah it’s in the config folder, but it still won’t run, as shown in the pictures attached

perhaps i’m rerunning magic mirror wrongly? if so, what’s the correct command line to run it?

@Fozi i’ve tried editing the compliments in the config.js file, but MM won’t run those compliments, even after restarting it. attached is what is displayed and the config.js code i edited.

@cskenney do you think it has anything to do with the fact that i’m using a macbook terminal and not a monitor and keyboard?

@cskenney i’ve done that, but i can’t seem to change the compliments displayed. i’ve also customized the compliments from the compliments folder, but magicmirror2 shows the default compliments?

after downloading the magicmirror2 onto my raspberry pi, i wanted to customize the compliments. i read that i’m supposed to edit the config.js file, but i can’t seem to find the file in the magic mirror folder? all i have in the config folder is config.js.sample.
