      @dankerthrone installing a new module is pretty easy

      cd MagicMirror/modules
      git clone http:// the url of the git repo
      cd the name of the module
      

      if there is a package.,json file, then to load its dependencies do

      npm install 
      

      then

      cd ~/MagicMirror/config
      nano config.js
      
      insert the module definition  info, (see the module readme.md)
      save
      

      then restart mirror app

      this module does NOT list its dependency on jquery as it should
      so, you have to fix it manually.

      SO, i don’t know where you were when u did the npm install jquery
      lets find it

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      find . | grep jquery\.js

        the XKCD errors look like poor programming by the author

        he tries to find the web content before its there, but doesn’t check if he got the location

          finding jquery as you suggested returns

          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ find . | grep jquery\.js
          ./node_modules/nwmatcher/src/modules/nwmatcher-jquery.js

            @dankerthrone hm… not where I would have expected it…

            so. lets try this again

            cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
            npm install jquery
            ls node_modules/jquery
            

            you should see this

            AUTHORS.txt  LICENSE.txt  README.md  bower.json  dist  external  package.json  src
            

            then do

             cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .
            

            then

            ls jquery.js
            

            to prove the file is in the module folder

            i just did it all here step by step

              Late to the game, but I also am getting black screen after installing the module and adding it to my config. Ill try to give you the steps:

              Did the git pull. Went into the folder, npm install.

              Added this to my config:

              {          
              module: 'MMM-Sunrise-Sunset', 
              position: "bottom_center",
              config: {
              latitude: "69.13",
              longitude: "18.59",
              apiKey: "myAPI",
              layout: "inline",
                }
              }, 
              

              I also tried @sdetweil post, without any difference. I find the files as listed, did pm2 restart mm without any help.

              Ideas?

                @siggmur latitude and longitude are numbers, remove the quotes.

                general rule, for values to the right of :

                number or true/false - not quoted
                all else, quoted, doesn’t matter which one, just matching.
                also, lat/long usually are 6 digits
                xx.yyyy

                  Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot the quotation marks, but it should throw a config error, not a black screen like I am getting?

                    @siggmur black screen usually means missing library file.
                    look at the startup.messages

                    either
                    pm2 logs --lines=100
                    or the terminal window where do
                    npm start

                      @sdetweil ah, now we might be cooking. I find to suspected issues, but I am a bit to noobish to understand:

                      [2020-08-01 01:35:48.402] [LOG] No helper found for module: MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.

                      and:

                      }

                      Any idea what it could be?

                        @siggmur eaddr in use means something is still using that port 8080,

                        pm2’s job is to start at boot, so you can have more than one running

                        keep stopping

                        check w
                        ps -ef | grep node |grep -v grep

                        kill things til u get none.

                        then

                        cd ~/MagicMirror
                        npm start
