~/MagicMirror $ node tests/configs/check_configs.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:550
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/tests/configs/check_configs.js’

i have no clue what is wrong with my code, I am very new and had to restart my pi because i was testing stuff. I put all my changes back in at once(which I now realized was dumb lol) and now it says config error. i tried to use this
node tests/configs/check_configs.js but this didnt seem to work. here is the code, thanks in advance for the help!

thanks everyone, this helped a lot!

Hi, I am very new to everything(sorry) and have a question. it would be awesome if someone helped.

I followed this from what I understood was I should put this

{
		module: "clock",
		position: "top_left",	
		config: {
			displaySeconds: false,
	                clockBold: true,
		}
	}

this didnt work and now I feel dumb:face_with_tears_of_joy: any help would be awesome. this is kinda my first time I have dabbled in programming so sorry again for the basic question.
