        @emrhssla that doesn’t match with the terminal window output…

        in terminal window only

        Starting MagicMirror: v2.7.1
        Loading config …
        Loading module helpers …
        Initializing new module helper …
        Module helper loaded: updatenotification   < ----
        No helper found for module: helloworld. < -----
        All module helpers loaded.
        Starting server on port 8080 …
        Server started …
        Connecting socket for: updatenotification   
        Sockets connected & modules started …
        Launching application.
        

        there are only two modules referenced…

        never mind, two of mine don’t have position and work fine
        delete ---------also, all modules require a position

                    @sdetweil I don’t see what the problem is.

                    After upgrading the npm and node to the latest version, I installed the Magic Mirror, and I wonder if that’s the problem.

                    And I did the npm install python3 and I don’t think this is the cause.

                        @emrhssla which MM are u working in?

                        /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty (see its config/config.js
                        or
                        /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror one? (see ITS config/config.js

                        they are different (u have MagicMirror installed INSIDE a MagicMirror folder)
                        to fix this, in /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty do

                        mv MagicMirror ..
                        

                        now you will have

                        /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty
                        and
                        /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror

                          I first ran a magic mirror at /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror . But after failing, another one was installed. Running /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror gave the same result.

                          In conclusion, there are two magic mirrors: /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror and /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror.

                          I’ll try it tomorrow, but maybe it doesn’t matter.

                              I solved it!!
                              A month ago, /fi/MagicMirror was installed.
                              /pi/Magicmirror puts the code above, so node_helper.js work well.

                              But I don’t know why /pi/Desktop/Beauty/Magicmirror isn’t working. Is this because of /pi/Magicmirror?

                              Thanks to you, I solved it. Thank you all the time.

                                because its a mess with all that macOS level binaries installed…

                                i had to

                                rm -rf  ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron 
                                cp ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules
                                

                                to get the UI to show on the pi…

                                i tested before by executing Electron to show some page
                                in a terminal window ON THE PI
                                do

                                ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron/dist/electron http://cnn.com
                                

                                this should open electron to show some web page

                                initially I got a frame, with empty insides
