pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm start dev
npm ERR! missing script: start

That’s what I got.

@dwleo well, you have to be IN the MM folder

cd MagicMirror

[dwleo]

@sdetweil
WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘moment-timezone’

[dwleo]

Sometimes I feel like a real noob. Anyway the config.js file is there right where it always has been.

[sdetweil]

@dwleo

from the MM folder run

node tests/configs/check_config.js

and work thru the errors from top to bottom

rerunning as needed

[sdetweil]

@dwleo yes, but there is a syntax error from all the editing you have done

make a rule,

1 change at a time,
AND save the working config.js before u edit

[dwleo]

@sdetweil
Yeah, you are right. (sigh)
Anyway I ran it and got this:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ node tests/configs/check_config.js
Checking file… /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)

[sdetweil]

@dwleo ok, then you have a module name wrong, or u deleted it

Cannot find module ‘moment-timezone’

OR, you installed a module, but didn’t finish ITS install, by going to ITS folder and running npm install

when a module uses other modules, (some not used by base MM), you have to do a manual step to install ITS dependencies

so, I would look thru the modules u might have just installed, and edit the package.json file in each and look for moment-timezone… if its there, then u probably need to run npm install in that folder

@sdetweil
Thank you. I will try that.

@sdetweil
Hurray!
That did it. I must have used my ‘fat fingers’ when in the MMM-NHL file.
Thanks so much!
