Cant seem to find config section to edit modules.

Robertovj3

I am new to rasberry pi and setting up the magic mirror. It seems straight forward but when i added a module and went to edit it, i cant not seem to find the config file so i properly edit. Did i set up something wrong or am i going to the wrong location?

// this is my path to the config file and it wont take me anywhere

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror/config
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/config $ ls
config.js config.js.sample
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/config $

@Robertovj3 config.js right there

You don’t edit the module itself

@sdetweil so where do i go to edit the config file to add other modules code?
