@lhops
Can or has anyone written code for an new MMM-PIR-Sensor module that will work will the new version of MagicMirror. If not is that something that your can do? I wish I knew more about the code I would do it myself.

I get an error when " ~/node_modules $ ~/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"

execute ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild INSIDE the module directory ;)

not inside other directory ;)
Note :

1. every module in MagicMirror is there:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

2. After change again the directory to your wanted module,
   for MMM-PIR-Sensor module (for example):

cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

3. after install magicmirror-rebuild

npm i magicmirror-rebuild

4. execute MagicMirror-rebuild program

./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

5. you will see MagicMirror Rebuild Complete

6. it’s done ;)

This is the results of the instructions:

I am sure you can look at this and see my problem.
Thank you for all your help!

If you have modified the “package.json” file … and you do not respect the syntax.
here is the result ;)
(Info: it is not like this that we rename a module)

to correct your issue try this:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
git reset --hard HEAD
npm install magicmirror-rebuild --save
npm remove electron-rebuild
npm install

(Sometime, i’m very kind… So kind for me)

@bugsounet I followed your instructions but the rebuilding step failed with the following message:

Do you know what the problem is? Thanks!

@susl :

• Recommended version of npm: v6.14.15
• Recommended version of node: v14.x.x or v16.x.x

to verify, try this in a terminal (or ssh):

node -v
npm -v

@bugsounet
node version: v17.3.0
npm version: 8.3.0

So obviously not the correct version :-( Do you know how I can change the versions?
