my first module "helloworld"

[bdream]

Just made my first module helloworld as in simplest modules: helloworld:

just to understand how to get it work in my MM, I copied the /helloworld into ~/MagicMirror/modules and addet it into the config.js

		{
			module: "helloworld",
			position: "top_center"
		},
so easy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: 

My question now is, what for do I need the npm install command for all the modules I clone from git – or – what do I need to do also working with npm install?

May anyone direct me to a noob tutorial

@bdream you only need npm install for modules IF they have a file called package.json, which would specify dependencies needed to be installed…

you could also use my sample module for a starter
