      @massivearts-0 back down to ~/MagicMirror/ and try the command there. Also, the config file should be at ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

          @massivearts-0 open a terminal window onto the pi

          cd ~/MagicMirror
          npm run check:config
          

          but as I said on discord
          we need to see the messages that are output when u start MagicMirror

          you either do
          npm start
          or pm2 start

          if pm2 then the command to display the logs is
          pm2 logs --lines=100

          the black screen is probably a missing dependency module, and the messages will tell us which one

            Maybe position: ‘position’, is your problem add a location on mirror like “top_left”

              @djboob66 yes, he had “top_Bar” before, but that is not the black screen

              maybe no content displayed as mm can’t figure out where to put it

              system is case sensitive

                    @djboob66 yes he did. but the module uses the request library without documenting it in the package.json

                    and request was removed from the MagicMirror package in 2.15.
