UNSOLVED MMM-GoogleSheets Not loading

[mlm198]

Hi,

I am having issues with getting the module working. I have followed the instructions as per https://github.com/ryan-d-williams/MMM-GoogleSheets.

However when loading all it says is “loading…”.

Looking in the log it says:

Any help would be appreciated.

@mlm198

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

@karsten13 I don’t think that is the problem.

I think the Google API isn’t authenticated.
and downloaded credentials file

[mlm198]

I couldn’t work out how to run the script in full for the fix blacl screen.

I got up to "npm install ??? " but then I don’t have a module to install.

Can you point me in the right direction of authenticating the API and downloading credentials. Also where do I put that?

THanks for your help.

Matthew
