    You need express.js
    I guess your auto-installation process didn’t work anyhow. You can try manual installation. (And I recommend that.)
    See this.

      @Sean I’ve tried following the instructions on that page but it hasn’t worked.
      How do I install express.js?

        @MMRPi1 hmmm…

        1. Go to your MagicMirror directory.
        2. Is there package.json file in your MagicMirror directory? (..../MagicMirror/package.json)
        3. If there is, open package.json you can see like this.
        ...
          "dependencies": {
            "body-parser": "^1.17.1",
            "colors": "^1.1.2",
            "electron": "^1.4.7",
            "express": "^4.14.0",
            "express-ipfilter": "latest",
            "feedme": "latest",
         ...
          }
        }
        
        1. Then, you can run npm install in /MagicMirror directory.
        2. See how it goes.

              Alright, it says Magic Mirror installation was successful, but I’m not sure what to do next…

                  @MMRPi1 Thank you for your patience! :) Glad you got it running now some advice…

                  IF you have a working config before you make ANY changes to it copy it to config.bak that way you’ll always have a GOOD working config file…

                  Good Luck!

                    This is excellent advice!

                      @cowboysdude Thanks.
                      This is the situation:
                      The default config file is working (I have it backed up) though when I run it in server only the clock and weather work fine, but all the other modules say “Loading…”.
                      I did try to customise it, but got the “No config file”, so either I have syntax errors or the sources aren’t right…
                      Talking of, does anyone know of a list of compatible news feeds and the like?
                      Thanks again
