<![CDATA[iCal parsing failed: Cannot find package 'ics-filter]]>Hi!
i’m new to this and am having truble whenever I try to display my calendar, I get the message “iCal parsing failed: Cannot find package 'ics-filter” . It doesn’t matter which URL i use, I get the same message. I’m not really sure what the error message means, I woud appreciate any help. I have the latest update for magicmirror2.

Here is the code I’m using for the calender:

	{
		module: "calendar",
		header: "Kalender",
		position: "top_left",
		config: {
			calendars: [
				{
					symbol: "calendar-alt",
					url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/sv.swedish%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics"
				}
			],
			maximumEntries: 3,
			//showLocation: false
		}
	},

Here is the error message I get when I run the Code:

[2026-08-30 17:55:26.613] [ERROR] [calendar] https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/sv.swedish%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics - iCal parsing failed: Cannot find package ‘ics-filter’ imported from /home/pi-mirorr/MagicMirror/defaultmodules/calendar/calendarfetcherutils.js

but the npm run install-mm failed…

this typically happens because the version of nodejs was not updated during the upgrade

you can verify this by doin

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm

please confirm it outputs a message like (here I installed node 16)

npm ERR! code EBADENGINE
npm ERR! engine Unsupported engine
npm ERR! engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.37.0
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.37.0
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=22.21.1 <23 || >=24"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual:   {"npm":"8.19.4","node":"v16.20.2"}

to fix the easiest way, run my upgrade script
from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

and use the upgrade copy/paste with apply at the end of the command,
change the word apply to force

hash -r

and then

which node

then

node -v

for this release its node 22.22.2

nvm changes the actual path for its installed node version,
so you may have to open another terminal window

keyboard shortcut

ctrl-alt-t

I did as you said and it seems to have worked but when I try to start the program I see this message
npm start run
bash: /home/pi-mirorr/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/npm: File or directory does not exist
I realize that there is something missing but what, what should I do now.
