MMM-RemoteCompliments does not appear

[sdetweil]

@justtrying said in MMM-RemoteCompliments does not appear:

/home/pi/node_modules

but it looks like you are not in the MM folder or the module folder where u need to install this

looks like you are in the users home folder (/home/pi)

for a module, you should be in

/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/???modulename???

@sdetweil
I tried to do as you said, so changed it to MMM-RemoteCompliments, and got this:

pi@RideorDie:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RemoteCompliments $ npm install googleapis

Still no remote compliments showing up sadly. I’m thinking about rebooting the entire thing and reinstalling MM.

@justtrying I haven’t used that. module. but maybe it has the same problem as remote control.
.see this topic

you have to restore one file back to 2.10 level. copy paste/replace file contents

@sdetweil Followed these instructions, still no module appearing. It really sucks, I tried reinstalling everything, followed every instruction to a T (even though the setup instructions are outdated), but it just doesn’t work.

[sdetweil]

@justtrying they introduced a bug in 2.11

fix was to. put back the 2.10 version of the file.

2.12 supposedly fixes it correctly. 2.12 has other problems

[justtrying]

@sdetweil as I said, I followed the instructions, I changed the socketclient.js file, still nothing.
The MM is up to date as well.

@justtrying Did you ever get this to show up, I have just gone through the installation and nothing shows on my mirror not even the header. Thank you

I would try starting over. I had a couple problems when I installed it, but I found every time the answers were actually in the instructions, just not quite how I would have expected to see them.

[sdetweil]

@tf2 u can also fork the repo, download it, edit the README.md file,add that change, push to your fork, and submit a pull request to the original repo to help others

[tf2]

@sdetweil I should have kept notes on what I didn’t do initially, but was in a hurry. I’ll be making a second mirror soon, and will do that.

[sdetweil]

@tf2 u don’t have to ‘install’ the repo to edit it.

just git clone your fork somewhere

[tf2]

@sdetweil Sure. But if I don’t recall what problems I ran into and how I solved them, I won’t k ow what to modify in the documentation until I try following the instructions again.
