@hango The path is MagicMirror, the ‘r’ is at the start of the next line

@hango yep, sorry, missed it…

you don’t open index.html with a browser… its the shell that MM uses to place module output

@Joshsamuel error file not found, looks like you didn’t follow some install instructions,

there was a step

npm install

looks like something happened to the node_modules folder where the libraries are saved

@sdetweil I ran npm install in the MM directory, it then said new patch version of npm available (6.14.4 > 6.14.5). I then tried to install this using

npm install -g npm

Then got the following message with some errors:

@Joshsamuel yeh, don’t do that…
to recover do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install

Joshsamuel

@sdetweil Just did that, still haven’t got position working

sdetweil

@Joshsamuel did u examine the error in index.html as suggested>

what does the log look like, both the console log (or pm2 logs --lines=100)
and the developer window console?

you have broken code, so nothing will be working right
