Problem installing new module (beginner), CalendarEXT3 not displaying

[MMRIZE]

@Manino
You need to stop “pm2” first before try dev mode. This error means just you are executing mm twice(one from pm2 and one from npm run start:dev). That error is not related with your original issue.

@MMRIZE @Manino do

pm2 stop all

then u can do

npm start 
(ctrl-c to stop) 

to test

[Manino]

@MMRIZE @sdetweil Oh, tnx! This is what I got. Have no idea if this is correct either. Thanks for your patience.

@Manino

‘/home/manino/package.json’

you are not in the MagicMirror folder

cd MagicMirror

[sdetweil]

@Manino do this

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
npm start

if that works, the add

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

in the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

on a new line before the line with npm start

[Manino]

@sdetweil @MMRIZE Sry did post before writing all text…

I did try your thing @sdetweil but I could’nt get it right. Then I did the Install of the MM for 15 times or something, try different installation every time, change language and tested everything, and then one time I try this extra thing below. I am sure iv’e tried it before but that time it did’nt work. I don’t know why but now I have it.

Every time I do the installation of the MM (after imager), I do got an error in the text. But the MM start running anyway. Maybe that’s the problem?

Anyway this thing did work:
“When some submodule seems not installed and updated properly, try this.”
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git submodule update --init --recursive

[sdetweil]

@Manino the question is, WHY did it not get installed properly…

the install instructions

npm install

in the module folder SHOULD have done the work already…

[Manino]

@sdetweil This is exactly what I did.

In the terminal I wrote cd MagicMirror/modules
then wrote git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
after that, I wrote npm install

Sometimes, I did get an error says I had to do npm audit fix. I did got it the last time and now as I said it’s working. But I don’t see that as a problem. Some of the times I did not got that, and it did not work anyway.

Then I did wrote git submodule update --init --recursive
even do the guide says needless (I did test with and without), don’t know if there was any difference.

But this should work or?

[sdetweil]

@Manino said in Problem installing new module (beginner), CalendarEXT3 not displaying:

after that, I wrote npm install

after the git clone you do

cd MMM-CalendarExt3

to position prompt with proper current directory

then issue

npm install

then npm install runs and looks at package.json which has a postinstall step

    "postinstall": "git submodule update --init --recursive",

SO, IF you were in the correct folder, then this command would have been issued here …

same as you did manually… SO, that implies you did NOT use the cd command

I see the instructions also do not have that …

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
cd MMM-CalendarExt3  # missing <-----------
npm install
git submodule update --init --recursive

so that explains it…

in general, if the module instructions say npm install
you MUST manually position the terminal window in the module folder first… regardless if the instructions tell you or not…

@MMRIZE u need to fix readme

[MMRIZE]

@sdetweil
Thanks. I’ll do it right now.

I am so sorry that all the ppl have that issue due to wrong instructions.
