magic mirror 2 config.js file

[sdetweil]

@elaineezhu i built a matching config and it works fine…

if using pm2, then pm2 restart 0
if not using pm2 then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

@sdetweil hm, i’ve done that but the compliments displayed are still the default one, even after editing the code.

[sdetweil]

@elaineezhu can u do a pm2 status ?

even after editing the code.

what does that mean? config/config.js or modules/default/compliments/compliments.js?

[sdetweil]

is MM running ON the mac?

[elaineezhu]

@sdetweil editing the code as in editing the config.js file.
that’s what happens when i do pm2 restart 0 and pm2 status

[sdetweil]

@elaineezhu ok, no pm2 setup for this machine

so you would do the other approach

cd ~/MagicMIrror
npm start

[elaineezhu]

@sdetweil i think so? it’ll open in electron

[sdetweil]

@elaineezhu how did you do the install? manually or one of the scripts?

[sdetweil]

@elaineezhu pm2 starts the same scripts as manually (~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh)

@sdetweil i believe manually, using the instructions here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/810/total-beginner-mm2-with-macmini/3
