            @RIKKO14 correct… in linux most commands return nothing if successful…

            so that is good… you asked to erase a folder
            and it did that

            now restart MagicMirror

            pm2 start MagicMirror

                @RIKKO14 fun… try this

                we need to edit a js file

                cd ~/MagicMirror/js
                nano electron.js
                

                scroll down to

                	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                

                add a bank line after

                on the blank line, copy/paste these lines

                	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                      event.preventDefault();
                      // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                      shell.openExternal(url);
                  });
                

                so it looks like this when you are done

                	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
                	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
                      event.preventDefault();
                      // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
                      shell.openExternal(url);
                  });
                	mainWindow.loadURL(`${prefix}${address}:${config.port}`);
                

                ctrl-o to save the file
                ctrl-x to exit nano
                cd …

                then

                pm2 restart MagicMirror
