        THe config file does not contain syntax errors.

        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check
        
        > magicmirror@2.8.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
        > node tests/configs/check_config.js

        Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

          @potts-mike ok, then do

          npm start dev
          

          Or

          Ctrl-shift-i   if already running
          

          And in the developers window, select the console tab, and scroll up to find any errors. Red text usually.

            I know that the last thing it says it is launching the app but a white screen with the developer console opens with the error “Dev tools was disconnected from the page…”

            MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
            If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

              @potts-mike i get the same with the pi4, the npm installs on some modules are killing the mirror. i think its safe to link all of these threads into one, ive put out a request for the dev of one module, i have no idea if any other module that i will put on the mirror will do the same i can only take it one step at a time, the affected module is mmm-nest-status.

                @dazza120 mmm-nest-status does not have a package.json file,
                so you should NOT do an npm install in that modules folder

                            @panos after you did the git clone, you have to run

                            npm install
                            

                            in the MagicMirror folder
                            and then

                            npm install
                            

                            in each module folder that has a package.json file…

                              MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
                              If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
                              Launching application.

                                      @panos rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror-old

                                      then run install again…

                                      then u can copy modules, config file, … then when all is good,
                                      rm -rf MagicMirror-old

                                          Is there a way to install v2.7 instead?

                                            @panos that generally means a mismatch between node_module levels…

                                            so, in each module with a node_modules folder do

                                            rm -rf node_modules
                                            npm install
                                            

                                            first, just disable one module at a time,
                                            update the failing one first

                                            add disabled: true,
                                            in front of the module name
