@Mykle1, thx for your post. It appears that when i want to check npm version, the system issues :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
-bash: npm: command not found

Therefore something went wrong during the system upgrade to stretch.
If i am not wrong npm comes along with nodejs which i have current version

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nodejs -v
v8.11.1

I think i would just install it again but i don’t know if I should do it from /home/pi or from inside /home/pi/MagicMirror ?

finally what i did and what did work is :)

sudo apt-get remove nodered -y
sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
sudo apt-get remove npm -y
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node -v
npm -v

Hi @ejay-ibm, was a bit busy last days… couldn’t work on MM. I finally install both MMM-Hotword and Mk2. Works fine but need some fine tuning. Maybe you or anybody can guide/help me on the following:

Mk2 side, i still need to understand how it works and how i can “interact” with the other modules… If you have a simple example to show how to “link” Mk2 with any other modules, it would be very helpful!
As usual thx to all for always supporting the community!
