Where to git clone MagicMirror 2.16

[plainbroke]

HELP,
Where do I find older version of MagicMirror?
Want to install 2.16 so all my modules work again.

I use MMM-Carousel with a long list of other modules. When I did the update to 2.18 goes black screen when I add modules. Plus lost my laptop that all my backups where on. HDD failure… I am really just wanting to get it back the way it was…
Usually I can reload MagicMirror 2.16 and just copy my modules folder into the new install and everything works.
As of right now I have MMM-Carousel working with default calendar, iFrame, MagicMirror-backup-restore, MMM-DarkSkyForecast, MMM-Snow,
and MMM-SugarValue. If I try to install other modules, I get a black screen.
I have tried many different ones and each time I have to: rm -rf MagicMirror and then reinstall with Sams auto installer. I am in the mid twenties, trying to add different modules…

This is my normal list of working modules…

module: "MMM-Carousel",
config: {
transitionInterval: 15000, //45000,
ignoreModules: ["MMM-Snow"],
mode: "slides",
		slides: [
["MMM-CalendarExt"]  //has to first to work.

x [“calendar”], // 1st copy shows Birthdays Friends and Family.
[“calendarh”], //2nd copy of default calendar for US Holidays
x [“iFrame”],

@sdetweil said in Where to git clone MagicMirror 2.16:

@mumblebaj FORCE if already upgraded… otherwise it will say ‘already at current release’ and abort

Thanks guys I have slowly and I mean slowly got a few to work… I will install all of them and see what sdetweils upgrade script can do under force…

Top oh the evening
If you follow the url he sent you you can use the tag to rollback below is a screenshot showing the tag

You can use the tag to git that specific version
The version you are looking for is below but you have to follow the instructions provided by @sdetweil To get the git to get that version (wanted to throw another get in that sentence) lol

$ git clone -b <tagname> <repository> 

tagged version url

If you complete this task sir your pay grade will be raised along with gitrank. Lol

Feel free to ask any questions

@plainbroke So, you may want to supply us the error messages that you are getting when you start the mirror. Either the content from the terminal when you start the mirror with npm or if you start the mirror with pm2 then pm2 log --lines 100. There are underlying issues with the modules that you have installed. To get you up and running on 2.18 then you need to provide us with the log output so we can see how to assist. Rolling back to older version of MM may not be the right thing to do. Let’s see if we can resolve the issues.

@mumblebaj and if you use my upgrade script, it will do all the missing require lib corrections for the active modules

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil That is true. But he already upgraded to latest. Not sure if your scripts will fix after the fact?

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj add force instead of apply, then its a re-upgrade (npm install, not pull) … and do the whole thing

[mumblebaj]

@plainbroke There you go. Use the upgrade script by @sdetweil with the apply option and it should sort out your modules’ missing dependencies. If you still have issues then post the logs so we can see what else is wrong.

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj FORCE if already upgraded… otherwise it will say ‘already at current release’ and abort
