    Hmm… from here : https://github.com/kapsolas/MMM-Instagram

    Do you have to install : https://www.npmjs.com/package/request - How?

    To confirm:

    You cloned the module from github - YES
    You generated a token for instragram - YES
    Configured the config.js file, configuration for the module appropriately - YES

      @wjdw87

      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Instagram
      npm install
      

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

        OH that’s the easy part ;)

        In the terminal window [the one you type in ‘npm start’ to start the mirror]… go to the modules dir then the MMM-Instagram dir

        MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Instagram

        type in without quotes “npm install”

        Once that’s finished go back to the MagicMirror and start your mirror :)

                  Just an FYI - You do not want to just post your config to the world.

                  That access token can allow someone to impersonate you now! The config.js contains confidential information for accessing the services our mirrors are using. Refrain from publishing it to the world with out redacting the app ids.

                      That’s ok, that’s not a valid API key… That’s the problem.

                      Let me explain… you do have an API key but what you need is an Access Token… that’s where the problem is.

                      In the config it is asking for the Access token… that’s where we both made a mistake!!! :) It’s all good.

                      We got it! :)

                      Thanks @kapsolas
