      @sdetweil I’m an Apple user. I am sure there’s something similar, though. Thanks.

        @sdetweil It looks like I spoke too soon. After a reboot, I cannot seem to get any output from MagicMirror.
        I rebooted and then called pm2 start MagicMirror from within the MagicMirror directory, and it seems to execute just fine. But … nothing happens. It doesn’t actually start the app, as far as I can tell. Even though the output seems the same:

        [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])
        [PM2] [MagicMirror](0) ✓

        Any ideas?

            @davidgagne that circle with the arrow heading column says times restarted. 148 is a problem

              @sdetweil I emailed you the output from that. I’m guessing Error: Cannot find module 'electron' is bad?

                @sdetweil It’s frustrating because I swear it was working before I rebooted.

                  @sdetweil If you thought 148 restarts was bad … This is what I see now:

                      @sdetweil I followed your tutorial on adding the Jeopardy module (just to see what would happen) and it worked fine. The last step is npm start and when I did that I got this:

                      > magicmirror@2.27.0 start
                      > ./run-start.sh $1
