              @dazza120 ok, start again… change the config?

              So, you install a module. If it has package.json file you run npm install in the module folder

              Then edit config.js and add
              Module structure.

              {
                module:'somename',
                config: {
                }
              },
              

              To the modules array.

              If think syntax error, from the MagicMirror folder do,

              npm  run config:check

                @sdetweil yep im cd-ing into the module folder and then running npm install, ill start over again and go through it slowly but ive probably built the mirror 20 from scratch no issues before with config but ive altered it too much now thinking that was it so its from scratch now but copying back the old config should have sorted any of those issues, does your installer work?

                  @sdetweil I think i found the problem mmm-nest-status install messes up the MM install, i think other are having simular things with other modules. i installed MMM-SystemStats changed the config file tested it and it was working find, i installed mmm-nest-status and didn’t alter the config for that so that should have just ment it wouldn’t run that module. i have attached the code below does this shead any light?
