@sdetweil Sorry, I can’t find the document you said.

@史新瑞 you must create it with the redirection operator >

same as windows. you can capture the output of a command to a file

@史新瑞 still not in the MagicMirror folder

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Sorry, I misunderstood what you said just now

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 MagicMirror is installed in a subfolder named MagicMirror

the npm command reads the package.json file in the CURRENT folder to determine what to do

npm means node package manager (n.p.m.)

you are in the users home folder

/home/pi

no package.json here…

you must change the current directory (cd command)

@史新瑞 said in I want to display txt files from outside at the bottom:

start > somefile Txt

you are missing the . somefile.txt

also Linux is case sensitive
so somefile.Txt is not the same as somefile.txt
