Can’t I just remove the MMM-Swipe module and reinstall it?

sure… but u said that didn’t work before…

the package.json in MMM-Swipe is looking for electron version 1.2.1, very old…

I would edit the file before running npm install in the MMM-Swipe folder and chaneg the version to match
whatever electron verison is installed already…

MM/node_modules/electron/package.json

“version”: “2.0.13”

the MMM-Swipe package.json to

change

devDependencies": {
    "electron-rebuild": "^1.2.1"
  }

to

devDependencies": {
    "electron-rebuild": "^x.y.z"  === the electron version number above
  }

I think I’ll just start over again with a reimage of the sd card.:persevering_face:
I’ve checked the package.json file in the electron folder and it showed version 2.0.16
So I entered that number at the bottom of the package.json file in the MMM-Swipe folder and run npm install again in the Swipe folder. Yet it gave me:

pi@Mirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Swipe $ npm install
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for electron-rebuild@^2.0.16

Thanks for helping me out so far.
How do you know al this stuff? How long are you already doing this?
Hope I’ll get that smart one day. :grinning_face:
