Help with troubleshooting MM start

[greaser01]

Bear with me, I built mine a year ago and am just now running into some problems and am trying to relearn everything…

Had an issue with a module, tried updating everything. Somehow I screwed it up to where it said the node_modules/electron needed to be deleted and reinstalled.

Deleted it and ran npm install (I read that would reinstall the electron node_module). Here I got errors where I needed to rename folders within the node_modules. Seemingly I’m stuck where I try and rename these folders to match what the terminal says, but it gives me an error that it already exists. Here is where I gave up.

Does anything with experience with this have suggestions on where to go from here? I am half-tempted to uninstall MagicMirror and just go from scratch again. (I don’t even know how to uninstall it)

@greaser01 do this

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install --omit=dev 

that will reinstall MagicMirror runtime
on anything other than Windows

no module folders or config affected
