      @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.

              @TheSij many times the ‘fixes’ force new code, which breaks old code, so you fix one problem, but the system is dead.

              more times than not fixing adds new issues to the list, different than u started with. almost NEVER does the list go away.
              and some of the vulnerabilities matter IF you have your pi connected to the internet where others are interacting with it (logon, save money, messages, …) MM is just pulling update notices. not allowing unsolicited inbound connections…

                  Ahh, see? Well done. Don’t sweat it. We’ve all experienced these problems. I promise, it gets easier. The more you learn the easier it becomes. Have fun!

                    i suspect you did not do the required install

                    For the record, I did not have to install dependencies.

                      @Mykle1 because some other module already had. npm install would have resolved that, if he had provided the package. json
