      @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.

                        {
                                module: "MMM-Weather",
                                position: "top_right",
                                header: "Weather Forecast - Katy, TX",

                                low: "L",

                                }
                                }
                        },

            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

                    @socrates easy, maps.google.com, get the map of your location, in the url, delete the minus sign on longitude, and press enter

                    it will map that location… zoom out til u figure out where that is

                      Thank you for your help. I have successfully managed to add quite a bit of useful modules as per my requirements, and have added styling to the fonts etc.
                      However there are two things I am unable to get around.
                      First is the wallpaper module.
                      If i use the default bing option for the source, it wont show more than 10 wallpapers, i have tried to change the “maximumEntries” to 20 or more and it still wont show more than the original 10 wallpapers it loaded the first day (3 days back). Then i tried to change the source to Flickr groups, and it wont show anything now. Please have a look at my code snippet below.

                                      {
                                              module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
                                              position: "fullscreen_below",
                                              config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
                                              source: "flickr-group:113291043@N05",
                                              maximumEntries: "20",
                                              slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
                                                      }
                                      }, 
                      

                      The second item is, i am not able to increase the calendar items, right now it only shows me 5 or 6 items, i am trying to increase it to 10 and it still show the default items.
                      see below.

                                      {
                                              module: "calendar",
                                              header: "Holidays & Reminders",
                                              position: "top_left",
                                              maximumEntries: "20",
                                              config: {
                                                      calendars: [

                                                                      maximumEntries: 20,
                                                              },

                                                              }

                                              }
