Setup from scratch for beginners?

[sdetweil]

first, lets see if there is an error

on the black screen, using keyboard press crtl-shift-i to open the developers window
then using mouse select the console tab, and scroll up to see if there are any errors…(red text)

black screen is usually caused by some fatal error in the UI components

Thank you Sam

These are the errors

Seems, the access on those links not possible.
When I manually click on those links, I see them.

(Do I have a problem with port 8080 being blocked and used by other applications)

I may ask stupid questions. Please be patient with a beginner like me…

But I see a lot of users having similar problems after latest updates.

@Adrian_O can u do

in MM folder

ls fonts -laF

did u do sudo npm install?

[sdetweil]

oh, and can u show the config entry for

var config = {
  address: "0.0.0.0", // 

spammers have ruined everything…

there is a security check now… localhost == 0.0.0.0 when false, results in the cross-site-scripting rejection

[sdetweil]

what modules did u install? beyond the defaults?
