          @emrhssla that doesn’t match with the terminal window output…

          in terminal window only

          there are only two modules referenced…

          never mind, two of mine don’t have position and work fine
          delete ---------also, all modules require a position

                      @sdetweil I don’t see what the problem is.

                      After upgrading the npm and node to the latest version, I installed the Magic Mirror, and I wonder if that’s the problem.

                      And I did the npm install python3 and I don’t think this is the cause.

                          @emrhssla which MM are u working in?

                          /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty (see its config/config.js
                          or
                          /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror one? (see ITS config/config.js

                          they are different (u have MagicMirror installed INSIDE a MagicMirror folder)
                          to fix this, in /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty do

                          mv MagicMirror ..
                          

                          now you will have

                          /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty
                          and
                          /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror

                            I first ran a magic mirror at /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror . But after failing, another one was installed. Running /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror gave the same result.

                            In conclusion, there are two magic mirrors: /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror and /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror.

                            I’ll try it tomorrow, but maybe it doesn’t matter.

                                I solved it!!
                                A month ago, /fi/MagicMirror was installed.
                                /pi/Magicmirror puts the code above, so node_helper.js work well.

                                But I don’t know why /pi/Desktop/Beauty/Magicmirror isn’t working. Is this because of /pi/Magicmirror?

                                Thanks to you, I solved it. Thank you all the time.

                                  because its a mess with all that macOS level binaries installed…

                                  i had to

                                  rm -rf  ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron 
                                  cp ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules
                                  

                                  to get the UI to show on the pi…

                                  i tested before by executing Electron to show some page
                                  in a terminal window ON THE PI
                                  do

                                  ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron/dist/electron http://cnn.com
                                  

                                  this should open electron to show some web page

                                  initially I got a frame, with empty insides
