        @Blackmirror after the git pull, you did

         npm install 
        

        in the MagicMirror folder and then also

        npm install 
        

        in each module folder that has a package.json file

            Thanks.

            I have only npm install at Magicmirror not for the modules.

            Now it was running fine.

                I am having the same issue but doing npm install in all of the modules folders doesn’t resolve it. Any other thoughts?

                  @potts-mike Are there any issues in your config.js? Can you run npm run config:check and see if there are errors?

                    I can, should I run that from the config file?

                    I will say though that it worked before the upgrade and I tried the config.js.sample file and it didnt work.

                      @potts-mike - Run it from the command line in the /home/pi/MagicMirror folder.

                          @potts-mike ok, then do

                          npm start dev
                          

                          Or

                          Ctrl-shift-i   if already running
                          

                          And in the developers window, select the console tab, and scroll up to find any errors. Red text usually.

                            I know that the last thing it says it is launching the app but a white screen with the developer console opens with the error “Dev tools was disconnected from the page…”

                            MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
                            If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
                            Launching application.

                              @potts-mike i get the same with the pi4, the npm installs on some modules are killing the mirror. i think its safe to link all of these threads into one, ive put out a request for the dev of one module, i have no idea if any other module that i will put on the mirror will do the same i can only take it one step at a time, the affected module is mmm-nest-status.

                                @dazza120 mmm-nest-status does not have a package.json file,
                                so you should NOT do an npm install in that modules folder

                                            @panos after you did the git clone, you have to run

                                            npm install
                                            

                                            in the MagicMirror folder
                                            and then

                                            npm install
                                            

                                            in each module folder that has a package.json file…
