      Hi,

      since two days now, I keep getting this error-message when (re)starting MagicMirror:

      App threw an error during load
      Error: Cannot find module 'module-alias/register'
          at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
          at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

          at tryModuleLoad (module.js:432:12)
      
      

      On a regular base I make a git fetch etc. to make sure MagicMirror is up to date. This morning somehow it wouldn’t start anymore. That’s the error I get when manually starting via

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      DISPLAY=:0 npm start
      

      Any idea how to fix this? … and even more: any idea what might have caused this?

      Cheers :)

        if so, there were two steps

        git pull
        npm install
        did u do the second?

          @sdetweil said in Cannot find module 'module-alias/register':

          npm install

          Thanks, yes that was very helpful. Helped indeed. However I also had to fix one module by deleting and pulling it again, but now it works fine. Thanks once more :)

            help?

            Thanks,

                I did (read my way through all the posts)

                HOWEVER,
                https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing/2
                told me to run

                bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
                

                and that made me a new installation that did work.

                Sometimes you have to sledgehammer things, I guess.

                Thanks for offering to help,
                karl

                  @amanzimdwini that post says

                  I also have a newer installer that resolves a lot of problems with MM

                  post 1
                  says

                  given that we will have a regular update quarterly, and we have such a large number of new users experiencing troubles after updates (mostly cause they have a ton to learn)… I have developed a script I would like to get included for future updates…

                  but glad u got it working… many cannot just reinstall easily

                      please read the page here for the multiple scripts I provide

                      https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                      each provides the string to cut/paste to execute the specific function
                      install,
                      update
                      screen saver
                      pm2
