@innovation ok,

postinstall should be 43 lines long
if so do this

./postinstall

the check for qrcp.json again

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes the file is there now

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

[sdetweil]

@innovation ok, start mm

[innovation]

@sdetweil I am getting the same “default message if none supplied in the config.js”

[sdetweil]

@innovation weird

ok, add
debug: true,

to the module definition
and then do

npm start >somefile
once mm comes up u can stop it and then we can look at somefile

[innovation]

@sdetweil npm start >somefile
npm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2021-03-26T16_26_09_848Z-debug.log

Yes, the program started then I ended it

[sdetweil]

@innovation from the magicmirror folder please

[innovation]

@sdetweil Yes it opened. Where is the somefile?

[sdetweil]

@innovation in the magicmirror folder

> means put all the terminal window content of the pgm into the file
(same as for windows)

[innovation]

@sdetweil Nothing shows up in the terminal when I run in though

[sdetweil]

@innovation don’t understand, mm puts out messages
looks like this
