                  @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
