      @olesoncrypto in the MagicMirror folder do

      npm run config:check
      

      the output will report a line number of an error

      unexpected token line 45

      well, look at line 44, and see if it should have a trailing comma (meaning more to follow)

      repeat til no error

          @sdetweil So you’re saying delete the commas above the line where it shows I have an unexpected token line?

                @sdetweil Hey I just fixed it all up thanks you to! Adding commas a line above the syntax error fixed it. I was so happy to see “Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)” lmao. You’re a life safer

                    @sdetweil I have a new issue. Instead of seeing the original Magic Mirror^2 screen that says “add a config.js file or fix the syntax errors” now only shows a black screen. Both my mmstart.sh and magicmirror is active with my pm2. I also have downloaded chromium-browser. Do you know what might be the cause of this? I’ve downloaded all the module content inside of each module directory with npm.

                      @olesoncrypto this is typically caused by a missing library.

                      we removed some, and it turns out modules didn’t document using them

                      look at the pm2 log

                      command

                      pm2 logs --lines=100
                      

                      looking for module not found.

                      for each of those, go to the module folder
                      if there is NOT a package.json file do

                      npm init -y
                      

                      then in either case do

                      npm install xxx -- save
                      

                      where xx is the name of the not found thing

                      we know about
                      request
                      rrule-alt
                      and
                      valid-url

                      then restart mm

                        0|mmstart  | /home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:20
                        0|mmstart  | Log.log("Starting MagicMirror: v" + global.version);
                        0|mmstart  |     ^
                        0|mmstart  | TypeError: Log.log is not a function
                        

                        I’m not sure how to fix this one. I nano’d into the file and they show a bunch of these log.log within the app.js file
