@xVirus94 What “addons” are you trying to get to work?
Don’t need to apologize for bad English… heck 1/2 the people that speak English aren’t even good at it LOL
Did you do this in terminal window?
~MagicMirror/config

cp config.js.sample config.js

You also need a key to make them work :)

@cowboysdude What key???

@xVirus94 said in Trouble with MagicMirror:
What key???
The API key that you have to sign up for. It’s free. It should tell you where to go in the ReadMe.
If you are using the default weather module then you have to go to https://www.openweathermap.org/
Each weather module that requires an API key tells you in the ReadMe file where to go to get the key

@Mykle1 module: ‘currentweather’,
position: ‘top_left’,
config: {
location: ‘Forlì’,
locationID: ‘3176746’, //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
appid: ’37f’
}
},
Why doesn-t work? -

Why doesn-t work?Let’s take a look here…
Remember do not post your api key for any app ;)
At any rate this returns :
“invalid API key”… so you don’t have a correct API key, where did you get it from?
Plus you had Syntax errors… this is the correct way other than API Key…
{ module: 'currentweather', position: 'top_left', config: { location: 'Forlì', locationID: '3176746', //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org appid: 'ca7b4eb9089beeb6a71918a37f20b9' } }, -

Oops! :left_facing_fist_tone2:
-
@Mykle1 this isn’t a real Api key…
-
@xVirus94 There you go copy the format I pasted above use your real api key and it should be working :)
-
@cowboysdude It’s working!!! Thanks a lot! Owesome!
-
@xVirus94 AWESOME… it’s awesome when something is working :)
-
@cowboysdude That’ s right! :D
