all the same terminal window. i don’t have anything else open. i know it says 22.21.1, but then node version says 19… very odd.

@angeliKITTYx i hate this editor on my phone changing the characters
do
node --versionit should report 22.21.1
thencd ~/MagicMirror npm run install-mm -
@sdetweil
it’s booting now! hurray! however, now I’m getting the package lock error when i try to complete the calendarext3 update and none of my events are populating. I have a thread up on someone else’s trouble shooting but I’m out of time this morning. I be back at it this afternoon. thank you again for all your help. -
@angeliKITTYx awesome. Thanks for the feedback
package-lock? Erase that file then do the update
There is a known bug affecting modules that have functions in their config like ext3. We are discussing ways to distribute these fixes.
-
Did you get the npm run install-mm done after verifying node version was correct?
-
@sdetweil
yes I did the npm run install-mm successfully.i got it updated, but now it’s angry again

I did it originally in the MM folder, but I ran it again and still getting the same errors
