Mykle! I have the PilotMX instlled and working on the bottom bar with my chosen 2 airports but it takes up the full width of the screen. Can I make it narrower. I changed the maxWidth to 300px but it is still all the way across.

Thank you all for the help. I am slowly getting it. Honest.

Thank you for your reply. But I’m sorry to say I still don’t get it so let me explain my problem a little better.
The module says “npm install in your ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PilotWX directory.” How do I do this. I tried going into ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PilotWX but that command is not recognised in the terminal. How do I get into the correct place to add npm install.
Sorry if I am being stupid but this is all new to me.
Thanks

First of all I would like to say thank you for the step by step tutorial. It helped me a lot and I can now install some MM modules.
I do have a question though, I don’t really understand how to add dependencies. You say add it to the folder via the terminal??? I tried this on your PilotWX module but I don’t really know how to do it. I thought I did it eventually but nothing come up in my MM. I have also copied and pasted the other part into config.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sam,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I have been to https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but to be honest and polite I could not work out what I had to follow or do to get started. I will go there now and try to make sense of it but all this Pi stuff is new to me. Wish me luck I need it. Otherwise the Pi is going in the bin.
Thanks again,
Dask

I have a new Pi 4 and tried following a couple of downloads for a MM but cant get them to work. I dont know much about R pi’s as I am a complete newby. Is there an easy step by step tutorial I can follow anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Guys’
I’m Dave from London.
My wife bought me a Raspberry Pi when they first came out in the UK in 2012.
I took it out of the box for the first time a week ago set it all up and I can’t use it as it is painfully slow (20+ mins to load a page). I don’t know if they are just no good or if I am doing something wrong.
Anyway, I want a MM so i will probably buy the latest Pi 4, unless people on here tell me otherwise, and build a MM.
I am so looking forward to it.
This forum looks ideal. I have read many posts that have encouraged me but I am sure I will be back looking for help and advice.
Dave
