@sdetweil in the reeadme file it did not say to go inside the module and use npm install but once I did it started working.
thank you

@sdetweil I copied again the array to add in the config file from the Poemoftheday

here is the snippet of my config file

// false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
	// true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device

	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
  		{
    			module: "MMM-PoemOfTheDay",
    			position: "upper_third",
    			config: {
      				textLimit: 1000,
      				lineLimit: 10,
      				detectLanguageApiKey: "{API_KEY}",
      				languageSet: ["en", "es"],
      				updateInterval: 120000
    			}
  		},
		{
 			module: "MMM-Breathwork",
  			position: "bottom_right",
		},

@sdetweil I removed the dot. This time I am getting the error that I need to check my config file.

When I runnpm run config:check, I am getting the following error

[13.05.2021 15:06.26.058] [INFO]  Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js

This is a snippet of my config file

I have installed the module MMM-PoemOfTheDay,
As instructed I added the following to the config file.

modules: [
  {
    module: "MMM-PoemOfTheDay",
    position: "lower_third",
    config: {
      textLimit: 1000,
      lineLimit: 10,
      detectLanguageApiKey: "{API_KEY}",
      languageSet: ["en", "es"],
      updateInterval: 120000
    }
  }.
]

Upon running the magic mirror, I only get a black screen.

Did someone experience the same problem ?

@amoniak how did you fix the black screen? I am getting the same error

Hello,
I have installed MM from here

When I want to run the Magic Mirror, I am getting the following error

Hello,
I’m following the link bellow to install MM
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#manual-installation

Everything goes right until I type

npm install

This process gets stuck midway, I have wanted an hour and nothing has change.

@madscientist thank you for your help. What do you think about the second option? Perhaps you might have any information you came across from people who have used the Mirastar 4mm

thank you

Hello everyone,
I’m about to build my first smart mirror, it is supposed to be a gift if everything goes as planned.

Monitor:
I do have a used 22inch BenQ monitor ( not sure if it considered a bright screen with lots of contrast because I have no other screen I can compare it to )
Frame:
I was thinking to get a 60x40 cm frame from amazon.
Smart Mirror Location:
The smart mirror will be place in a room where there are windows

I live in Germany, so reading a thread from fellow members of this forum I found a website that is relatively cheap.
Which one of these 3 options would be best ?
1. Mirropane Chrome Spy 4 MM (48,00 €)
https://www.brigla-shop.de/mm-genau/mirropane-chrome-spy-4-mm/smart-mirror-spiegel-288
2. Mirastar 4 mm (33,60 €)
https://www.brigla-shop.de/mm-genau/mirastar-4-mm/smart-mirror-spiegel-291

thank you*
