@Samwise
I can’t understand why you did this;

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GooglePhotos $ nano MMM-GooglePhotos.js

You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) modify source code. use your config/config.js.

And, the error

nano: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

comes from your system, not my module. Maybe your system has been missing something.

ok i think everything is in order, but the pictures don’t actually show up…

Don’t know what happens without details. What does the log say?

@Sean where do i find the log?

Also, this popped up: pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
sh run-start.sh

Thanks a lot Sean !
It appears indeed that the credentials generated was not the right type (I may have not selected the right option in google api console). Worked better the second time !

Marvelous results of the module

@Sean I logged into my google account and allowed consent. However, once I input the code back into the terminal, all I get is auth_and_test started.

What am I doing wrong?

@ayangu
when you did auth_and_test, token.json was created?

I am running MM on a RP zero W and I only have the RPi command line. It is running in server mode. When I execute node generate_token.js, it does not bring up a browser window where I can authorize for a token. Do I need to do something different?

@roccodicarlo open the chromium-browser to localhost:8080 to get the UI (if this is a graphical desktop pi 0)

when/how did u install? my automated script does the setup to run chromium if the graphical desktop exists
