      @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.

                            when the mirror app is running, can u access from another system at http://mirror_ip:mirror_port

                            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
