        I tried the above as suggested but get this error now:

        chown: invalid option – ‘r’
        Try ‘chown --help’ for more information.

            Apologies I don’t speak the language so I don’t understand it unfortunately but I did a capital R and got the following:

            chown: invalid option – ‘r’
            Try ‘chown --help’ for more information.

                  @xxLulaBelle we don’t care about the package-lock.json file

                  but the package.json maybe

                  do

                  git diff package.json
                  

                  to see what was changed.

                  my update script, from here, https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts, might have helped.
