          Its the standard image or text when launching MagicMirror of no config file being installed. I don’t know how to take a screenshot on the Pi, so camera picture it is!

          No config file error

            Hi @Wenike in your MMM-Carousel config it looks like you have

            mode: global,

            which might need to be quoted? i.e.

            mode: 'global',

                @raymondjspigot good catch!

                I copied the config and this is the cause
                i also noted that the checker didn’t find this,
                not sure why…

                  @Wenike the general rules for config.js

                  for the value to the right of :

                  numbers and true/false are not quoted,
                  everything else is, doesn’t matter which type, single or double, as long as they match

                  for the trailing comma on a line,
                  if the next line starts with a word, then this line needs a trailing comma (more coming)
