OH that’s the easy part ;)

In the terminal window [the one you type in ‘npm start’ to start the mirror]… go to the modules dir then the MMM-Instagram dir

MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Instagram

type in without quotes “npm install”

Once that’s finished go back to the MagicMirror and start your mirror :)

I guess for security can change the API key once i’m all up and running :) - many thanks @cowboysdude !

Just an FYI - You do not want to just post your config to the world.

That access token can allow someone to impersonate you now! The config.js contains confidential information for accessing the services our mirrors are using. Refrain from publishing it to the world with out redacting the app ids.
