<p dir="auto">In your config.js file, in the calendar module entry, you can either add this OR edit the existing entry for US-Holidays. If you do not want the US Holidays calendar then simply change the end of the url to UK-Holidays.ics.</p>
<pre><code>{
symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/UK-Holidays.ics"
},</code></pre>

<p dir="auto">I’m not really sure what you’re asking. The index.html file isn’t going to launch the mirror. Open a terminal, cd into the MagicMirror directory and run npm start. If you get the config error, we’ll take it from there once you post your terminal and config here</p>

<p dir="auto">Check that the config.js file is inside the MagicMirror/config/ folder. Unless you made changes to the sample file itself before copying and renaming, that should work.</p>
<p dir="auto">Your terminal, where you run your commands to launch the mirror. You would copy and paste the information in that window here. It’s probably a good idea for you to copy and paste your config.js file here as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please select the code block option when pasting <code>&lt;/&gt;</code></p>

<p dir="auto">So, you made a <strong>copy</strong> of the config.js.sample file and renamed it to config.js, and then you run the mirror and it says your config is missing or has errors?</p>
<p dir="auto">Can you post your terminal output here?</p>
