      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.
      
      removed 1 package in 1.439s
      found 0 vulnerabilities
      

      How can I solve this problem?

        @SirVer do this

        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

          @sdetweil Thanks for the answer but I get this:

          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

            @SirVer sorry, typo (left off the ‘er’ on node_helper)

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

              @sdetweil I have a question: I thought git checkout is just changing the branch. So what is the command here git checkout … doing in index.js ?

                it’s much more than that.

                  @SirVer checkout can switch branches, it can also get a file from the local repository into your local working directory
