            I think this doesn’t work as an outside command… I mean TECHNICALLY it does,
            but it depends on too much work for the user…

                @chrisfr1976

                thanks for your patience… I think this will be better

                I have merged the installer function into the MMM-Config module

                currently the installer function is in a separate branch (with_installer) while we test it out

                note: if you are using docker, then these steps need to be done INSIDE the running container, using
                docker exec -it mm bash
                to get to a commandline inside the container
                AFTER using ssh to get to the docker host commandline

                if you don’t have MMM-Config

                cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config
                cd MMM-Config
                git checkout with_installer
                npm install
                

                see the readme above on how to add this module to your config.js

                if you already have MMM-Config

                cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Config
                git pull
                git checkout with_installer
                npm install
                

                no configuration changes are required

                restart your MagicMirror instance

                for docker based MM instances, the steps are the same
                I notice that some of the files in the git pull will be marked as changed,
                altho its only the permissions
                so erase those files and then git pull
                and then checkout the with_installer branch
                etc

                Using the installer

                use this url

                http://mm_server:MM_port/installer
                

                and you will get the installer module selection page

                see the readme for usage

                after pushing the install selected modules button and the individual module installs complete,
                the MMM-Config configuration page will replace the installer page you had open

                when you are done configuring the modules, press Save, Create config
                and the current MMM-Config page will be closed, and your MM instance will be restarted
                (in most cases)

                from the readme

                MMM-Config will try to restart your MagicMirror system after configuration is complete
                
                if the MagicMirror instance is configured to auto restart due to config.js, that will happen naturally
                
                if the MagicMirror instance is NOT configured to auto restart due to config.js, then the MMM-Config **restart option** will be used to restart
                
                if the MagicMirror instance is in a docker container, like khassel's then the MagicMirror process will be killed, causing the container to restart
                
                if none of those options work, then you will have to restart the MagicMirror instance manually (same as if you modified config.js on your own)

                  All I am getting is this:

                  “Select all the modules you would like to install”

                  Nothing else it is just white below that …

                  Slow learner. But trying anyways.

                    @plainbroke go to the module folder and do git pull

                    then reload the installer page

                      Ok did the git pull now I get the same thing but in a tan background color.

                      should i do the
                      git pull
                      git checkout with_installer
                      npm install

                      did that and it says everything is up to date.
                      I really hoped that would get it running.
                      Sounds like a very useful module.
