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
replyOH 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 :)

I guess for security can change the API key once i’m all up and running :) - many thanks @cowboysdude !

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.

Thanks, understood, i intend to replace API keys imemdiately on getting it up and running (at the moment just testing as building), hpe not to offend.

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
