it says when I run npm run config:check says it’s missing

@adamhrastich the way you posted it, the forum corrupted it.

Please place ``` around the code next time.

That being said, go to the magicmirror directory, and type:

npm run config:check

It’ll help you solve the errors.

[adamhrastich]

@bkeyport I ran that code and it says the file is not found

[BKeyport]

@adamhrastich Like this:

pi@officemirror:~ $ cd MagicMirror/
pi@officemirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.16.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node js/check_config.js

[adamhrastich]

@bkeyport I did and this is what came up.
‘’'pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

@adamhrastich Well, there’s your problem. The config file should be config.js - if you’re trying to use the sample as a base, change to the correct by using mv config.js.sample config.js

[adamhrastich]

@bkeyport said in config file errors?:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ mv config.js.sample config.js
mv: cannot stat ‘config.js.sample’: No such file or directory

[BKeyport]

@adamhrastich in your config subdirectory. ~/MagicMirror/config/

[adamhrastich]

@bkeyport oh I’m stupid… thanks so much I can not believe I didn’t see that

[BKeyport]

@adamhrastich It’s alright. Once you get it working, you might want to look into MMM-Config as well. @sdetweil does a hell of a good job automating a ton of this.
