        a git clone of the repo would only try to download the repo again. A git pull would try to update. Make sure your node is up to date and try again if it updates. I assume you did an npm install in the MagicMirror directory, as per the installation instructions.

        Did you do the automatic installation?
        The manual installation?
        Update from 2.1.0?

            @undergroundauth This is weird, you said you did not add module and yet, your log talk about “modules/aiclient” wich isn’t a default module . In a fresh cloned repository, your modules folder should only have a “default” folder, a “node_modules” folder and a “Readme.md” file in it.
            your error talk about a “modules/aiclient” so it’s clear that you have another folder named “aiclient” in it. And If there is an error on it, it’s also mean the magic mirror try to call it which mean you add a section on the “config/config.js” file in the magic mirror repository.
            So this module must have an error in it that messed up the display.
            do something like renaming the current config file and reset the default value on a new one.
            the following command should do the trick

            mv ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js ~/MagicMirror/config/old_config.js.save
            cp ~/MagicMirror/config.js.sample ~/MagicMirror/config.js
            

            If you didn’t mess with the config.js.sample it should reset your config.js to the default configuration.
            Try to run the magic mirror next and tell us if something appear on the mirror.

              Hi,
              Even I have the same black screen problem. I have not added any other modules. Just have renamed the config.js.sample to config.js
              The application launches with a black screen.

                      @dhirajv12 Let’s double-check some things. Please enter the following.

                      cd ~/MagicMirror
                      rm -rf modules/aiclient
                      git pull
                      npm install
                      cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
                      npm start
                      

                      With luck, that should at the very least get you a basic interface with the calendar, clock, compliments and newsfeed.

                      no helper found for module: complements

                      This is normal. The system is checking for a node_helper.js file for every module. Those modules do not have one, so it is reported as such during the startup process.
