      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
      
      Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/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
          Launching application.

            @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…

                            When I manually try to launch MagicMirror I get this:

                            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

                                    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

                                            @sdetweil it turns out that MMM-moon-phases module has the problem! I comment out the code and everything works like a charm!! Thanks for your help!!
