When i went to go update, it said i had three files that were preventing it from updating, so i deleted them as i said, was package.json, package-lock.json, and vendor/package.json (I think). After updating, i try to run it and it gives a blank screen with the cursor showing and this is what shows in the terminal. pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start > magicmirror@2.8.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > sh run-start.sh Starting MagicMirror: v2.8.0 Loading config ...

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. It launched and worked fine beforehand, i was just updating because i was getting an error for some reason with MMM-Voice and thought maybe if i updated it would work.

@ jmartin1009 after downloading the code (with git pull) , you need to do cd ~/MagicMirror npm install also, if u have modules other than the default, you must ALSO do nom install in each module folder where there is a package.json file present to cleanup the new dependencies in the future, i hope my updater script (link to topic below) will be available as part of the package to help solve these kinds of problems… https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing
