@sdetweil I am using my cell phone connected to my wifi network. When I scan the code it sends me to

http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review

When I replace “raspberrypi” with the actual ip of the pi, it works.

sdetweil

@josh45631 yes
I ‘assumed’ that name will work… doesn’t…

will fix, thx

sdetweil

@josh45631 @mumblebaj do a git pull in the module folder, and then restart mm and try the qr image again

When I try to use your MMM-config I get this error…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ~/MagicMirror/modules
bash: /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules: No such file or directory

sdetweil

@louise explain a little more… where are u typing that info ?

where is your MagicMirror installed?

read the link in my signature How to add modules (I didn’t write it)

@sdetweil I am soooooo new at this. I had it working once by someone else, card got corrupted and the person building it no longer available. So I’m trying to rebuild on my own. Not a coder, programmer or anything else.

I’ve tried the modules, got the calendar and weather in the config.js but it doesn’t run.

So what do you need me to show you?

@sdetweil This is what I get when trying to run Magic Mirror from npm start

@louise so, read the link… it will help A LOT…

from a command line, (terminal window) you need to change folders

cd new_folder_name

just like on windows
(except here the names are case sensitive)

when I said in doc

Clone this repo into ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.

that means change directory (cd command)

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

u left off the cd

but the error implies you have not installed MagicMirror yet…

I have a script for that
see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

its just a cut/paste of one line

sdetweil

@louise errors. looks like you didn’t do npm install after git clone of MagicMirror repo …

@josh45631 @mumblebaj i updated the readme to specify MM_IP_Address instead of ‘machine_name’ if you need/want/have to use the manual reivew url instead of the QR
