Worked for 5 minutes...

After finally getting MM to boot with all the modules appearing on screen, one of the messages was to have the master bench updated, 2500 behind.
Once I was able to get the update to go through, I rebooted and poof. Mama loads but it’s an entirely black screen with no modules.
How do I bring them back?
I know very little about the command lines so talk very slow and spell out the cmd lines for me please! thank you for any help.

@Chritix - Did you remember to run the install commands after you did the upgrade?

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install
cd modules
[ go into each module folder and enter:]
npm install

@bhepler we should start a new script for upgrades

installers/upgrade

#!/bin/bash
# change to MagicMirror folder
cd ~/MagicMirror

# get the latest upgrade
if git pull; then
  # update any dependencies for base
  if npm install;
    # process updates for modules after base chnaged
    cd modules
    # get the list of modules with  package.json files
    find  -maxdepth 2 -name 'package.json'  | while IFS= read -r FILE; do
      echo "processing for module " $(dirname $FILE)
      # change to that directory
      cd  $(dirname $FILE)
        # process its dependencies
        npm install
      # return to modules folder
      cd - >/dev/null
    done
    return to Magic Mirror folder
    cd - >/dev/null
  fi
else
  echo git pull failed
  # return to original folder
  cd - >/dev/null
fi
