That brought up module weather.js, Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected token .

[sdetweil]

@KI6UVE what line number?

[KI6UVE]

@sdetweil

159

@KI6UVE how did you install MM? my script or manually?

what version of nodejs is installed?

node -v

[KI6UVE]

@sdetweil

Used in the install script npm install-mm from the website instructions. nodejs version is 16.18.1

[sdetweil]

@KI6UVE hm… I think that is manual install …

my scripts (listed in alternative install section)
are here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

did u ever edit the weather.js file?
if so, you can restore it

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/default/weather/weather.js

what MM version are u running? 2.21 is current

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep version package.json

@sdetweil

Never edited the weather.js file. Ran the git checkout line and it said Updated 0 paths from index. Version is 2.21.0

I’ll do a complete redo tomorrow with your GitHub scripts on a fresh RPi OS install. I’ll post the result here.

@KI6UVE thx, really just need to rename the MM folder to some other name… then my script will run

I don’t think this is an OS problem

@sdetweil

Thank you, I really appreciate all your help!!

@sdetweil

Did fresh OS install anyway, and then ran your MM install script. Pasted my updated config file that we worked over into the new install and weather is working great. Now back to MMM-Flights.

So, the final analysis for anyone reading this is to use the @sdetweil Magic Mirror install script, then edit the config.js

The only config options for openweathermap that I used were:

1. Location
2. LocationID
3. apiKey (used a free one from openweathermap.org)

I did not have to use lat/lon or any other config options for it to work.
