I’m basically going round in circles. Whenever I restart I have to remember everything from before so it’s very slow progress. I’ve just started fresh, using the auto installer (thanks). Took a while to get node/npm to the right version (I’m not sure why the auto installer didn’t?). Now at the point of adding modules but again I’ve run out of time. Could really do with a straightforward walkthrough (I do realise there is lots of info around/on here, but I find it overwhelming to know where to start, or when something goes wrong (long the node version earlier) how to sort it. Just want an editable touch screen Google calendar! 🤪`

@elwood1982uk send the ~/install.log to my email…
same id as here at gmail. I’ll fix whatever caused the wrong node…you DID execute install DIRECTLY from the github page, with copy/paste… right?
you did NOT clone that repo and execute from the copy (cause I update it all the time to keep it current)
which is why it have copiable lines to paste and executeyou did start with the FULL image, not the light… light makes things MUCH more complicated
Whenever I restart I have to remember everything from before so it’s very slow progress
if you use my backup/restore scripts, then you wouldn’t have to remember the MM setup
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
you can add one module, backup
and another backup
(I save versions, so you can get back to any one of them)but other than that there is no ‘straight forward steps’, do this, then this…
welcome to the learning curve. someone created something new, (touch screen editable calendar)… so there are extra things everywhere…
and a LOT to know…
this is NOT plop a TV on the wall and you’re done…

@elwood1982uk said in Touchscreen Family Dashboard:
editable touch screen Google calendar
google has that already, open the calendar web page… done…
don’t need MagicMirror to do that -
@sdetweil thanks yes I think that’s what I’ll do but I can’t even get a virtual keyboard working (have tried onboard and another-the name has slipped my mind) -they either don’t pop up or are too big etc. It’s not that I thought it would be easy but I did think I’d at least get it partly done by now 🤪
