      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.

      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.

      Please select the code block option when pasting </>

            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

                      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.

                      {
                      symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                      url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/UK-Holidays.ics"
                      },
