      @pat59 show the output of npm start

      But when you change the os under an app, it’s recommended to reset it too

      Stop MagicMirror

      cd ~/MagicMirror 
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

      Start MagicMirror

        Hello, I did the manipulation, it doesn’t work. To stop Magic Mirror, I have to press Ctrl+M.

          @pat59 all MM commands require you to be IN the MagicMirror folder

              @pat59 so, you already have an instance running, probably under pm2

              when I said stop MM I meant in whatever way running…

              pm2’s JOB is to start and KEEP MM running… no matter what
              you ctrl-Q
              pm2 says, oops, app crashed, restart…

              so, you have to use the pm2 commands to tell it what to do

              pm2 status

              will show the managed apps, one line per
              you can control the app, by using the name or number of the app in a row

              pm2 stop 0
pm2 stop MagicMirror

              could both be for the same app

              once stopped, THEN you can go to the MM folder and do the npm start to see the possible errors easier…

              once you fix the errors, you can stop the temp MM with ctrl-q (as you started it manually)
              and then tell pm2 to manage it again

              pm2 start 0/MagicMirror
