          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 …

                  @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.

                      Is that the installer page you are talking about?
                      Or is there something else I should try???
