      @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

                  @sdetweil Hmmm. Okay. I tried that for the ‘alert’ module but it didn’t seem to have any impact:

                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror $ cd modules/
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ls
                  default  MMM-JEOPARDY
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules $ cd default/
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ ls
                  alert  calendar  clock  compliments  defaultmodules.js  helloworld  newsfeed  updatenotification  utils.js  weather
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default $ cd alert
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ ls package.json
                  ls: cannot access 'package.json': No such file or directory
                  dvg@hyperspace:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert $ npm init -y
                  Wrote to /home/dvg/MagicMirror/modules/default/alert/package.json:
                  
                  {
                    "name": "alert",

                  Same result; just a bunch more restarts and nothing appearing. (The Pi desktop is there, though.)

                        @sdetweil So, because I am relentless, I rebooted to see if that would help. It didn’t, but now it looks like I have a different problem altogether:

                        cd MagicMirror/
                        pm2 start MagicMirror
                        [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/dvg/.pm2
                        [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
                        [PM2][ERROR] Script not found: /home/dvg/MagicMirror/MagicMirror
