@emrhssla AND delete node_modules from all locations, right? vendor and all modules

from the MM folder do

WATCH OUT, THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE node_modules IN THE EMBEDED MagicMirror

find . | grep node_modules$ | xargs rm -rf 

and

find . | grep package-lock.json | xargs rm 

this erases all the mac based stuff that should not have been added to the repo
then

npm install

[sdetweil]

@emrhssla also delete the package-lock.json files in the few folders

@ganget

I think cleaning is the answer too…

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

@emrhssla yeh, my fault… i had u erase too much, there is a supplied node_helper module in the modules folder…

you can copy it from the /pi/MagicMirror installation

cp -r ~/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper ~/newTest/modules/node_modules
