Mac node version

[Mahieedaboss]

So, I intend to have Magic Mirror on both pi and mac but for mac, npm start, black screen w/ cursor problem. What node -v do i need. I currently have 10.2.1 Does anybody know what node -v the dude in the vid had on his mac?

@Mahieedaboss why didn’t you use my script… it gets things done right…

my catalina

sams-Mac-4:~ sam$ node -v
v10.17.0
sams-Mac-4:~ sam$ npm -v
6.11.3

@Mahieedaboss

look at the terminal window and at the developers console, may have to start with npm start dev

@sdetweil

could you please please please link them here because I want an easy way to do this. Quick question, is this just Magic Mirror or MM, AI and fr?
ALSO
does this upgrade node to the needed version and all that?

[Mahieedaboss]

so I start
then:

Literally nothing?

@Mahieedaboss select the tab labeled console in the window to the right
you are in the elements tab

link what? my installer script installs the latest at the time of install…

that is catalina, in a VMWare workstaion virtual machine, running Magic Mirror, with the MMM-ImagesPhtotos background images from my server, and my calendar using the default cal module
and a couple of my modules running…

the best thing would be to uninstall nodejs with brew, remove the MM folder, and then run my installer script from https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

just read the readme and cut/paste the appropriate command
