      @Manino the question is, WHY did it not get installed properly…

      the install instructions

      npm install

      in the module folder SHOULD have done the work already…

        @sdetweil This is exactly what I did.

        In the terminal I wrote cd MagicMirror/modules
        then wrote git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
        after that, I wrote npm install

        Sometimes, I did get an error says I had to do npm audit fix. I did got it the last time and now as I said it’s working. But I don’t see that as a problem. Some of the times I did not got that, and it did not work anyway.

        Then I did wrote git submodule update --init --recursive
        even do the guide says needless (I did test with and without), don’t know if there was any difference.

        But this should work or?

          @Manino said in Problem installing new module (beginner), CalendarEXT3 not displaying:

          after that, I wrote npm install

          after the git clone you do

          cd MMM-CalendarExt3
          

          to position prompt with proper current directory

          then issue

          npm install
          

          then npm install runs and looks at package.json which has a postinstall step

              "postinstall": "git submodule update --init --recursive",
          

          SO, IF you were in the correct folder, then this command would have been issued here …

          same as you did manually… SO, that implies you did NOT use the cd command

          I see the instructions also do not have that …

          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
          git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
          cd MMM-CalendarExt3  # missing <-----------
          npm install
          git submodule update --init --recursive
          

          so that explains it…

          in general, if the module instructions say npm install
          you MUST manually position the terminal window in the module folder first… regardless if the instructions tell you or not…

          @MMRIZE u need to fix readme
