      @TheSij said in How to add modules. For absolute beginners.:

      tack Error: missing script: start
      5 verbose cwd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-soccer

      what did you type?

      the command is

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      npm start
      

      to run MM, you must start from the MagicMirror folder… not a module folder, not the users home folder…

      if you use pm2, it will issue the right commands from the right place

          i suspect you did not do the required install in the
          MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PrayerTime folder

          per the instructions

          Installation
          Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder
          execute git clone https://github.com/slametps/MMM-PrayerTime.git
          
          **if this module does not run correctly,** try npm install async

            I am 110% sure I installed the module in the right directory. I always check before I execute it. I’ve just checked the directory, and the module repository is in the right place. I’m executing the ‘npm install async’ command now. Fingers crossed!

                I opened an issue on the MMM-PrayerTime module github, for him to create a package.json file for this async dependency and let the system handle it

                  @sdetweil - as in, the files for that module is in the MM modules folder. Sorry if I’m using the wrong terminology.

                  So, after running the ‘npm install async’, it found three low vulnerabilities, which I’ve asked for them to be fixed.

                    @sdetweil - thanks. I think I’ve got it working. The module is finally showing in the MM dashboard. Thanks very much for the guidance, and @Mykle1.

                        @sdetweil - too late. Sorry, I went ahead before getting this advice. I’ll remember for next time.
