              @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 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 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)

                                  @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

                                          @sdetweil Thank you, sir. Is my problem easy to solve? In addition, it’s nearly 23 o’clock here, so I will turn off my computer and use my mobile phone to receive your messages. However, in this way, I will not be able to correct it as quickly as possible according to your method

                                            @史新瑞 i just installed the module…

                                            can u show me the config.js for this?

                                            the filePath parm is assuming the file is located in the same module folder…
