          this module depends on jquery library being installed for this module, but its not…,

          I am working on instructions for you… hang on

          do

          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
          npm install jquery
          # note the trailing dot (.) on the next line
          cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .
          

          then start your mirror again

              @pugsly ok, open the developers window again

              this usually means that the api key is wrong … the api isn’t returning data

                Its not passing the API key in the HTML request.

                      @sdetweil: Thank you so much for your help here. I’m having the exact same problem as @pugsly did, but unfortunately your suggestions seem to not do the trick. I was wondering if you could help me out, too. So far I got:

                                              {
                      			module: "MMM-Sunrise-Sunset",
                      			position: "bottom_bar",
                      			config: {
                      				apiKey: "xxx", 				
                      				latitude: "xx.03586",
                      				longitude: "xx.06379",
                      				timezone: "Europe/Berlin",
                      				layout: "inline"
                      				}
                      		},
                      

                      My screen stays black, though, and the developer console is giving me this:

                      Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
                      at Class.updateSun (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:33)
                      at Class.start (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:12)
                      at startModules (loader.js:55)
                      at loader.js:40
                      at HTMLLinkElement.stylesheet.onload (loader.js:200)
                      

                      I even tried executing your suggestions as root, thinking that I must’ve done something wrong, but I got the same error messages as before:

                      root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset# npm install jquery

                      What am I missing here?

                          That seems to have been a copy/paste-error. My terminal history shows it with the underscore. To make sure, I tried it once again, but still get

                              … I’m starting to wonder if I messed up something bigger in the beginning since almost any change I apply to config.js results in weird errors.

                                after rebooting, the black screen of MagicMirror now shows this in the developer console:

                                I’m really starting to think I do something stupid everytime I install/clone a module from github. I do follow each readme.md for installation, but somehow keep messing up :-/

                                  @dankerthrone installing a new module is pretty easy

                                  cd MagicMirror/modules
                                  git clone http:// the url of the git repo
                                  cd the name of the module
                                  

                                  if there is a package.,json file, then to load its dependencies do

                                  npm install 
                                  

                                  then

                                  cd ~/MagicMirror/config
                                  nano config.js
                                  
                                  insert the module definition  info, (see the module readme.md)
                                  save
                                  

                                  then restart mirror app

                                  this module does NOT list its dependency on jquery as it should
                                  so, you have to fix it manually.

                                  SO, i don’t know where you were when u did the npm install jquery
                                  lets find it

                                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                                  find . | grep jquery\.js

                                      finding jquery as you suggested returns

                                        @dankerthrone hm… not where I would have expected it…

                                        so. lets try this again

                                        cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
                                        npm install jquery
                                        ls node_modules/jquery
                                        

                                        you should see this

                                        AUTHORS.txt  LICENSE.txt  README.md  bower.json  dist  external  package.json  src
                                        

                                        then do

                                         cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .
                                        

                                        then

                                        ls jquery.js
                                        

                                        to prove the file is in the module folder

                                        i just did it all here step by step

                                          Late to the game, but I also am getting black screen after installing the module and adding it to my config. Ill try to give you the steps:

                                          Did the git pull. Went into the folder, npm install.

                                          Added this to my config:

                                          {          
                                          module: 'MMM-Sunrise-Sunset', 
                                          position: "bottom_center",
                                          config: {
                                          latitude: "69.13",
                                          longitude: "18.59",
                                          apiKey: "myAPI",
                                          layout: "inline",
                                            }
                                          }, 
                                          

                                          I also tried @sdetweil post, without any difference. I find the files as listed, did pm2 restart mm without any help.

                                          Ideas?

                                            @siggmur latitude and longitude are numbers, remove the quotes.

                                            general rule, for values to the right of :

                                            number or true/false - not quoted
                                            all else, quoted, doesn’t matter which one, just matching.
                                            also, lat/long usually are 6 digits
                                            xx.yyyy
