Re: Weather graph & calendar with custom MMM-forecast-io

Hi @FlatPepsi,

I am interested to use your weather forecast module with chart which seems very nice.

As I did not find this information, is a “git clone …” and “npm install” command needed to install the files ? before configuring the config file?

Thank in advance and thank you for your interest and your job!

@com1cedric 1st git clone,

see the links below in my signature, they will help a lot… I didn’t write them

npm install

if the module has a file named package.json
THEN you do npm install
otherwise not needed

@sdetweil hello, and thanks a lot. I will Try! Kind regards

One other thing, if you get a blank screen after installing a module, check the logs, if it mentions “Request” - you have to reinstall it.

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15666/add-request-to-modules/

@BKeyport its not just request (there are 5 libs at least )
point to the solution process
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

this module doesn’t have a node_helper, and no package.json, so this can’t be an issue…

@sdetweil Fair enough. I wasn’t aware of the others. Request is the one I’ve seen by far the most missed.

@sdetweil
hello Sam, could you please tell me the complete “git clone” command to get the files on “https://github.com/FlatPepsi17/MMM-forecast-io”

sorry for the inconvenience, I am quite new on this topic and I really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot.
