      I’ve had the notification on the top bar saying there’s an update to my MMM-calendarExt3 module, that the current installation is 2 commits behind the main branch.

      What is the correct way of dealing with this?

      It may seem a daft question however…
      The last time I had an update the issues off the back of it - when the update ran into issues and failed part way - and the entire MM stopped working and some kind people on here rescued me from the point of binning the whole setup.
      Cheers.

        @JMac in this case, if you’re that close, it’s a simple git pull in your module directory, then restart.

        as a force of habit, I run git pull then npm install on every update, just to make sure everything loads, then restart.

        Likely, the reason it didn’t work before was a slight change to the code introduced in 1.2.0 - MMRize took duplicate code out of all his CX3 modules, and made a single file for them all - you had to install that code via the documentation here: https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda#update-to-120

        I missed it too…

          @JMac

          cd <YOUR_MM_DIRECTORY>/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
          git pull
          npm install
          

          When you meet some error message about CX3_Shared, try this also there.

          git submodule update --init --recursive

            @MMRIZE you should add a postinstall npm task and check that and do the git commands

              I did already, so most cases it will work unless missing ‘npm install’

                  @MMRIZE When I cd MagicMirror I get into that directory
                  but the /modules/MMM-CalendarExt3 says it isn’t recognised.

                    @JMac not /modules

                    / at the front means root

                    you want ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3

                    ~ at the front means current users home folder

                    if you are in the MagicMirror folder, then

                    cd modules

                    will move the current folder the the ~/MagicMirror/modules folder
