What do you mean by "...they don't like to be installed locally..."?
Reading through https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.9inch_DSI_LCD, there doesn't seem to be anything controversial about the drivers themselves. You have to be careful with the portion of the install script which modifies the moOde's /boot/config.txt file. I've only skimmed through it so can't comment in detail.
If you can read the lines written to the terminal by Linux during bootup then you must be pretty well configured. However, did you enable the Local Display function in mOde's System Configuration panel? Without that, you'll see no local UI on either a connected HDMI display or a DSI screen.
Sorry, I don't know what to say about the message if you don't say what it is that already exists. As for your last comment, it may relate to what I said above about modifying /boot/config.txt.

Quote:...I did notice during the installation of the drives, terminal did give me one line that read "It already exists and does not need to be added." I don't believe this is an error, but it could be. I am not very familiar with this distro of Linux. I have also noticed that it seems to break the control the web ui had over the config.exe file.
