    Re: fix for black screen in 2.16 and later
    I did the npm install package.json and it installed it ok and is listed in the directory MMM-CalendarWeek
    then I did git checkout package.json and got the message error: pathspec ‘package.json’ did not match any files(s) known to git.
    So I did npm install package.json and it said it was up to date. so I did the checkout again and got the same message.

      @N6NG not npm install package.json

      let’s go thru the instructions again

      you got a full blank screen after installing and configuring a module

      yes

      you got the cannot find module ‘???’ message

      yes

      does the module HAVE a package.json file? NO

      no, create one by typing

       npm init -y
      

      in the module folder

      yes , continue on

      get the name of the missing module from the message in step 1

      in the module folder do

      npm install ?????
      

      where ??? is the name of the missing g module, you got in the prior step

        Correct up to here… I did do install package.json
        I looked and there was a package.json in the MMM-CalendarWeek module
        At this point I did the git checkout package.json ****************
        ****** That’s where I get the message error: pathspec ‘package.json’ did not match any files known to git
        **
        This is as far as I could get**

          but why did you do that? that is not what the instructions said to do…

          they said

          does the module HAVE a package.json file? NO
          no, create one by typing

          npm init -y
          

          in the module folder

            @N6NG further the instructions said

            NEVER EVER do this (npm init ) in the MagicMirror folder
            if you do/did, then do
            git checkout package.json
            to restore the package.json file

            I guess I need to add more words

            if you DID do npm init -y IN THE MagicMirror folder
            then you need to fix this. do

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            git checkout pakckage.json
            

            then go back to the module folder

            cd -
            

            an resume the fix instructions
            then go
