    @Gomalley do

    pm2 logs
    

    More than likely u need to do

    npm install
    

    In the MagicMirror folder, and in each module folder that has a package.json file.

      @sdetweil aright. I’ll try that however I’ve done it before and no luck. How would I do it for the other modules and package.json files. All I know what to do is just to type the command

      Npm install
      

      But It doesn’t work

        @Gomalley case sensitive, must be

        npm install
        

        Look in the modules folder and each of those for a package.json file.
        And if u find one, then in that folder do

        npm install 
        

        There

        You could also try my update script. I haven’t tried it over an attempted update

          So I deleted everything and I started over. On a new load of raspbian without doing the MM bash command, I typed

          npm install
          

          It gave me this:

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm install
          npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.15.2
          npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
          npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
          npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.

          npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
          npm WARN pi No description

          up to date in 1.599s
          
          

          After this I tried your new code and I got this:

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/4qod39yi8ek0feu/upgrade-script?dl=0)"
          bash: line 24: cd: /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers: No such file or directory

          fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

          bash: line 188: cd: OLDPWD not set
          bash: line 210: cd: OLDPWD not set
          

          Should I try running the original bash command?:
          bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

            @Gomalley you are missing some fundamentals.

            THIS is called install

            git clone ....  copies the code from github to your system
                 at this point it will not run
                 you need to change to the MagicMirror folder and execute npm install so that all the additional node 
                    routines needed are loaded onto your system
            

            now, once you have installed

            there are updates every quarter…

            so, then in the MagicMirror folder you need to download the new code OVER the prior code
            so, you do

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            git pull
            

            but we are in the same position as during install…
            routines we need may have changed, or we may have decided to use something different

            so, once again, to get all the updates for other code we use

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            npm install
            

            BUT there is one more step…
            any modules YOU installed may have dependencies too
            SO, they (like MagicMirror) specify those dependencies in a package.json file

            so, we need to look thru ALL the non-default module folders looking for a package.json file
            if we find one, we need to run npm install in that modules folder too.
            repeat til all module folders with a package.json file

            now…

            the install script (raspberry.sh) does the
            git clone
            and
            npm install in tghe MagicMirror folder.

            my update script
            does all the update steps… (I just added a check for the MagicMirror folder being present)
            but you had to have done the install steps first…

            npm install by itself without download any MagicMirror code doesn’t do anything useful, as there is no package.json file in the uses home folder by default.

              @sdetweil I tried putting npm install into the modules and vendor folders but there weren’t that many json files in that directory.

                  @sdetweil when i go to /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules
                  these are the folders present: Default, node_modules, README.md
                  If i further click into default i get a ton more (alert, calendar, clock, compliment s, currentweather, helloworld , newsfeed, …) Other than the magicmirror program, I have not installed anything else

                    @Gomalley ok, wasnt clear u had just the base MagicMirror.

                    If you do pm2 logs, what does it show?

                    Also, what does npm -v show?

                    U may need to upgrade npm

                    npm i -g npm
                    

                    Then do the npm install again in the MagicMirror folder
