@innovation what did u type??

qrcp

should have replied

sam@galliumos:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics$ qrcp
Error: requires at least 1 arg(s), only received 0
Run `qrcp help` for help.

anf then, if the file was present

ls qrcp.json

should have replied

sam@galliumos:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics$ ls qrcp.json
qrcp.json

[innovation]

@sdetweil
pi@smart:~ $ qrcp
Error: requires at least 1 arg(s), only received 0
Run qrcp help for help.

[sdetweil]

@innovation and for the file?

[innovation]

@sdetweil
pi@smart:~ $ ls qrcp.json
ls: cannot access ‘qrcp.json’: No such file or directory
pi@smart:~ $

[sdetweil]

@innovation ok, then do these two commands

ip link show
iwconfig

show the results

@innovation ok,

postinstall should be 43 lines long
if so do this

./postinstall

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes the file is there now

pi@smart:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics $ ls qrcp.json
qrcp.json

[sdetweil]

@innovation ok, start mm
