There is a comma to much at the end of the keywords array: "Forecast",

javascript is very accepting of TOO MANY commas…
and NOT accepting of not enough .

but I don’t understand what MM is complaining about the package.json

unless its the enhancement to updateNotification…

[ERROR] SyntaxError: Error parsing /home/lolo/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast/package.json: Unexpected token ‘]’, …“ast”,
],

That’s right about JavaScript. But trailing commas are a syntax error in JSON files.

syntax error in JSON files.

never mind… I didn’t catch that it was in json file…

but the user shouldn’t be editing the file… so its the authors error…
as the author just updated it I think

but how did he npm install??
unless he did a git pull and didn’t npm install

I see this latest is the case, as you opened issue.
I updated to point the way …

My Pull Request has been merged :-)

Users have to update the module, then the problem should be solved.
