Hi everyone,
I’m a complete beginner and I’ve just purchased my first Raspberry Pi 3. I purchased the Raspberry Pi mainly to create a MagicMirror, after I was so amazed by seeing this for the first time on YouTube. There are so many creative people out there who have created these thanks to Michael Teeuw. There are so many great videos on YouTube to help you and so many creative people.
So I first installed Raspbian Stretch with desktop
Image with desktop (based on Debian Stretch) which I presumed was the correct one to download? I used this as originally there was the mention of installing Jessie but from what I’ve read this is the new version, I’m not sure if that’s correct but I’m no longer able to find the Jessie file.
So I installed everything there were some issues along the way trying to format my 32GB and 64GB micro SD card. Does anyone have any idea how to format an 64GB micro SD XC to FAT32? I’ve tried a load of suggestions, but none of then seem to work correctly and I’m still stuck with a 64GB micro SD card I’m not able to use which seems a waste. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
So I’ve been following TaylorTech who runs you through installing the MagicMirror in three great videos. https://youtu.be/0Q04SKvibik
I thought I had followed his instructions correctly but unfortunately, there seems to be an issue. I went and pasted the code below for the quick install of MagicMirror.
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"
I’ve seen in videos once this is first installed it says MagicMirror2 at the top in text but instead I got this.

I’m not sure if that is normal?
so I went ahead a tried the code again and finally I got the text MagicMirror2 at the top as I’d seen in videos.
Unfortunately for some reason it did not install as suspected and I got the code below. If any one would be able to assist me with this I would be most grateful.
I’m very new to all of this as I’ve mentioned, so please any help or advice would be great. I love to learn with this Raspberry Pi I can see I’m going to have a lot of fun.
Thanks very much

build-essential is already the newest version (12.3).
unzip is already the newest version (6.0-21).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
apt-utils : Depends: apt (= 1.4.7) but 1.4.8 is to be installed
curl : Depends: libcurl3 (= 7.52.1-5+deb9u2) but 7.52.1-5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
