Node/ npm error? Blank magicmirror. Please help - desperate, frustrated and grateful for the right direction

@nakulbende install assumes that NO previous installation exists…so, no MagicMirror folder.

the installer and updater both create log files so we can see what happened at the time.
the original does not

How do you update npm - when I do this, would I have to run npm install in each module folder again?

I see @sdetweil has been in contact with you. You’re in good hands. Follow his directions and advice. I’m pretty sure his installer will install the correct versions of node and npm so you won’t have to do anything regarding that. Any modules you install after that (that require dependencies) will need you run npm install in their respective folders.

@sdetweil - your script worked flawlessly, and everything just works. I have a few kinks to sort out but it is looking like i can finish my wife’s gift before christmas after all. I can’t thank you enough!
