<![CDATA[Display turned black after I installed MMM-DigClock]]>I installed the MagicMirror recently and tried the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow. Everything worked perfectly. But then I wanted use the MMM-DigClock but then nothing worked. The display just turned black and I can see the mouse on the top left corner. I assume that it could not install correctly, because I got this after the installation of MMM-DigClock:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DigClock $ npm install
npm WARN deprecated undefined@0.1.0: this package has been deprecated
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror        /modules/package.json'
npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/mo        dules/package.json'
npm WARN modules No description
npm WARN modules No repository field.
npm WARN modules No README data
npm WARN modules No license field.

How can I solve this problem?

So what is the command here git checkout … doing in index.js ?

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git checkout modules/node_modules/node_help/index.js
error: pathspec 'modules/node_modules/node_help/index.js' did not match any file(s) known to git

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_help/index.js

this was because MMM-DigClock does not have a package.json file, and u should not have done npm install for it
