      So recently made a magic mirror and would like to have random images for the https://bluestacks.vip/ found the MMMM-RandomBackground and installed it. However now magic mirror doesnt work and this is the error I am getting. Was wondering if anyone could help me trouble shoot this issue. Thanks.

      Starting MagicMirror: v2.4.1

      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happene d. Maybe no internet connection?
      
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

        looks like you might not have done a npm install in the mm/modules/MMMM-RandomBackground folder to install the dependencies for the module

          MMMM-RandomBackground

          Wellllllllll for starters it’s MMM-RandomBackground and not MMMM…

          So …I would try npm install in MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground …

          Because I am seeing this " at Module.load (module.js:561:32) code: ‘MODULE_NOT_FOUND’ "

          If you did a ‘git clone’ the dir should be right and perhaps you put in your config wrong…

              @sdetweil - Okay, I can understand the confusion then. So… did you get it working now that you know you have to 1) get the name correct in the config.js file and 2) run npm install in the module folder?
