            the position where the modules are supposed to show only a black black screen rest of modules work fine

                I did the fonts but no clue what nunjucks is and how to fix it when I googled it I only got pictures of nunjucks

                  @swvalenti nunjuks is the web content templating code, which some of the modules use (it generates the web content from a ‘form’ like definition)

                  but that will not be installed if you do not npm install from the MagicMirror/vendor folder

                      module.js:525 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')
                          at cmpVersions (module.js:525)
                          at Function.Module.register (module.js:502)
                          at MMM-PGA.js:9

                            I followed the complete walkthrough but I can’t diagnose what I did wrong if you say that I did. Sorry to be a bother Sam

                              @swvalenti I just install the module on my Windows MM 2.18 instance without trouble…

                              it was missing a library , per the back screen link… once I fixed that the module came up without issues

                                            sam whatever you told me to not which step I got it all working. Only issue now is two modules are not centered correctly even when using top_center…how or if you can use css for that?
