Seems your code has dependencies? I’m getting an error when trying to load:

WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module 'node_helper'

@ember1205 node_help is the build in module,

sounds like u did an npm install, even tho not needed (and finds a bug or new feature we don’t want)

recover with this

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

@sdetweil said in Third-Party Module - how to get help?:

git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

yeah, I get into the habit of installing add-ons this way and I did the npm install.

Your fix cleaned it right up and it started up. But, guess what? Out of memory again.

Seems that I have bigger issues here…

@ember1205 show me the output of

node-v 
npm -v
lsb_release -a
uname -a

and other than image, you are running default modules, correct?

I have installed your MMM-ImagesPhotos and MMM-BackgroundSlideshow. Even paring the configuration down to ONLY one third-party module running, it will die unless I have the http cache disabled.

I have changed the swap size from the default of 100 to 250 and when it crashed, there was only a small portion of swap being used.

ember1205

@sdetweil Possibly because you’re running on a 4 and I’m on a 3?

sdetweil
