the message module not found has nothing to do with MagicMirror ‘modules’ but a library USED by a MagicMirror module. sadly we cannot change or intercept the message a typical error Cannot find module ‘request’ In recent mm releases we have removed libraries that are discontinued ( aka deprecated). many mm modules used these but didn’t document it. so they fail to fix this you need to install the library in the module folder , so do cd ~/MagicMirror/modules cd modulename (where modulename is the module having the error) once there, do ls package.json if the module does NOT provide that file ( ls reponse is ‘No such file or directory’) then do npm init -y NEVER EVER do this in the MagicMirror folder if you do/did, then do git checkout package.json then regardless (in the module folder) do npm install ??? where ??? is the library noted in the message Cannot find module ‘???’ | in the example message above, ??? is request to find this message, look in the output of npm start. or if you use pm2 to launch mm do pm2 logs --lines=50

@ macg where xxx is the library noted in the message cannot find module xxx so your message was Cannot find module 'request' so xxx is request just to clarify there are MORE libraries not found than just request. so I am trying to teach you all how to read the messages and understand what to do…
