Hi I have installed Alexa Control but if run the code
With code add into configuration file.
It will not run Magicmirror2

@videogame95 what is the error presented either look in the browser or look in the console where you started magic mirror.

Same procedure for debugging as every other module

Every time if works until I add the Alexa Control is in the programe
It comes up something drive not load stwet . I’ll have run it again and get back to you what error says.

H I’ve tried to add terminal file code on screen something about a drive not loading I’ve tried to post but I think it’s got rejected.
I’ll try again tomorrow if it not uploaded.

@videogame95 from the PI desktop, do

ctrl-alt-t  to open a terminal window, then 
cd MagicMirror
npm start  >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait, then return to the terminal window if needed, and do

ctrl-c

to end the MM application

all the log output will be in the file somefile.txt

@videogame95 this is another module that documents too much for the config.js …

modules:[   // DO NOT ADD THIS LINE...  these only show where the lines should be placed. 
    {                  // start of module definition
        module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
        position: 'middle_center',
        config:{
            image: true,
            pm2ProcessName: "mm",
            vcgencmd: "vcgencmd"
        }
    }            // end of module definition 
]      // DO NOT ADD THIS LINE
