    @boybay7 that means the folder name of the module doesn’t match.

    which means your git clone used the wrong url

    can u show us what u did?

        @sdetweil So for MMM-google-route I went to the 3rd party modules page, then i clicked the green code and copied the github link and then let that download into the modules folder. I then copied and pasted the code into config.js and added the API keys etc. I don’t know why the folder name wouldn’t match, I haven’t changed any folder name.

        EDIT: Well I’m stupid, I realised the 3rd party modules aren’t meant to be placed in the default folder. Well this all makes sense now.

            @sdetweil Yep all working, I just moved the 3rd party modules and it works now. I did realise though that the MMM-google-route requires you to use your credit card with google cloud platform (I know you get free credit) so I’ve decided to delete that module. Is there anything else like that that doesn’t require you to sign up etc? Thanks for the help by the way, I appreciate it.
