Any module I add turns to blank screen.

I have tried todoist, the calander ext2 module, dynamic weather module, several others. I think i might have an installation issue… I will just reformat my card and re-install using your script.
So after i install rpi, do i run ur script in terminal, and follow the prompts?

yes, just copy paste the one line for install in a terminal window

So i have installed mm using your script, and i am up and running, havent installed the modules yet, but that is because i am not able to shutdown mm using pm2 command, mm has been started using pm2 via your script.
None of these commands work
pm2 restart mm
pm2 stop mm

pm2 stop mm

or all to stop everything

@sdetweil Dear Sir, you are a genius, i finally got it working. Surely it was an install issue. Using your installation script, and in the past 2 hours i have already inculcated 4 third party modules, and all seems to be working. I might have a question or two later tomorrow when i make more progress, but for now, the main issue is resolved.

So everything is working out great for me, i have added some great modules, and in the processing of adding more.
The only one thing i am not able to figure out is the measure of unit for the weather.
I am in the US, in texas, and even if i use the imperial unit it wont show it correctly and the weather is totally off.

                     longitude: "95.83688",

we are west of england, so longitude should be negative (right?)… I am in texas too,

so, if u fix that and leave units off, it will take from the top of config
