@sdetweil pi 4

@sdetweil i dont think i saw one. i never installed any modulles, even the ones that should come with it are not showing up

@sdetweil i did what you said and this is what came up.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/clock $ npm init -y
Wrote to /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/clock/package.json:

{
“name”: “clock”,

“scripts”: {

@sdetweil so it works now, and after i enter pm2 start MagicMirror, it loads the software for the magic mirror, the only issue is that their is nothing only a blank screen, no time, weather, nothing. all that comes up is a blank screen. any suggestions?

@sdetweil

after typing in pm2 logs --lines=50, all that is coming up is a repeating of these couple lines

@sdetweil thank you so much for replying I really appreciate your help.

On the table that shows up, I see that one of the names is just mm, how would I change it to mm.sh. Also when I run your script all it does is create a new Id on the table, called MagicMirror and it dosent seem to do anything

when i try to start the magic mirror using pm2 start mm.sh, it says “Starting /home/pi/mm.sh in fork_mode (1 instance)”
and then it says
“Done”
and then table that this looks like this shows up
id │ name │ mode │ ↺ │ status │ cpu │ memory │
├────┼────────────────────┼──────────┼──────┼───────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│ 0 │ mm │ fork │ 0 │ online │ 0% │ 2.4mb

then nothing happens. I have watched countless videos about the whole prossess and i do everything that they do, but after the enter pm2 start mm.sh the table shows up and then the magic mirror page shows up. i dont know what to do
