            @史新瑞 yes… you can redirect that to a file

            npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

            wait…

            then ctrl-c

            then examine and post

            make sure to pm2 stop all before npm start

                  @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 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

                                        @sdetweil Thank you, sir. Is my problem easy to solve? In addition, it’s nearly 23 o’clock here, so I will turn off my computer and use my mobile phone to receive your messages. However, in this way, I will not be able to correct it as quickly as possible according to your method

                                          @史新瑞 i just installed the module…

                                          can u show me the config.js for this?

                                          the filePath parm is assuming the file is located in the same module folder…

                                            @sdetweil Sorry, I can’t show it to you now, because my mother doesn’t allow me to use the computer at this time in the evening. It is already 12 o 'clock here, so I can only send it to you tomorrow morning, that is, August 15, around 9 o 'clock in Dong8 district. I am very sorry, and thank you very much for your guidance
