I want to display txt files from outside at the bottom

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 I do not understand your question

display text files at the bottom?

text from outside?

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Display the text stored in another TXT file at the bottom. This TXT file is not related to magicirror

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 ok, maybe

MMM-SimpleText

from the 3rd party modules list
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-Party-Modules

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Thank you very much. I didn’t find it yesterday

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil After installing this module, NPM Run Server is normal and NPM Run Start cannot be used

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 show messages

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil There is no error message

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 if npm start doesn’t work, show me ALL the messages

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Is it the information in the terminal

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 yes… you can redirect that to a file

npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait…

then ctrl-c

then examine and post

make sure to pm2 stop all before npm start

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Sorry, I can’t find the document you said.

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 you must create it with the redirection operator >

same as windows. you can capture the output of a command to a file

@史新瑞 again, not in the MagicMirror folder

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 still not in the MagicMirror folder

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Sorry, I misunderstood what you said just now

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 MagicMirror is installed in a subfolder named MagicMirror

the npm command reads the package.json file in the CURRENT folder to determine what to do

npm means node package manager (n.p.m.)

you are in the users home folder

/home/pi

no package.json here…

you must change the current directory (cd command)

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 said in I want to display txt files from outside at the bottom:

start > somefile Txt

you are missing the . somefile.txt

also Linux is case sensitive
so somefile.Txt is not the same as somefile.txt
