    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 :hugging_face:

      @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
