                  I did the fonts but no clue what nunjucks is and how to fix it when I googled it I only got pictures of nunjucks

                    @swvalenti nunjuks is the web content templating code, which some of the modules use (it generates the web content from a ‘form’ like definition)

                    but that will not be installed if you do not npm install from the MagicMirror/vendor folder

                              I followed the complete walkthrough but I can’t diagnose what I did wrong if you say that I did. Sorry to be a bother Sam

                                @swvalenti I just install the module on my Windows MM 2.18 instance without trouble…

                                it was missing a library , per the back screen link… once I fixed that the module came up without issues
