    @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",
                              configDeepMerge: true,
                              config: {
                              debug: false,
                              updateInterval: "15m", // 15 minutes
                              updateFadeSpeed: 500,
                              api: {
                                key: "98dbcccba012ef0fd49c86665a0df584",
                                latitude: "29.71490",
                                longitude: "95.83688",
                                units: "imperial"
                                      },
                              display: {
                                CurrentConditions: true,

                              personalize: {
                                hourlyForecastInterval: 3,
                                maxHourliesToShow: 3,
                                maxDailiesToShow: 3,
                                concise: false,
                                colored : true,

                                      },
                              labels: {
                              high: "H",
                              low: "L",
                              timeFormat: "kk[h]"
                              }
                              }
                      },
      
      Have a look a this code.. and the partial screenshot of my magic mirror through vnc viewer

                               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

                  @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: [
                                                            {
                                                                    symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                                    url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
                                                                    maximumEntries: 20,
                                                            },
                                                            {
