Sam, I hate to start another endless series of these updates. I feel utterly beyond my depth when I try to complete your suggestions.
Is it possible for you to use crayons and draw me a picture? :-) Or is there a Magic Mirror for Dummies out there somewhere.
I hate wasting someones time when I don’t know which room to find a clue. Jimb
Re: Magic Mirror Update process
Minor housekeeping issue: I have received update messages in the past, completed the update process without errors and the on screen message went away,
When I perform the update process now, it seens to complete without errors, but the message is still there.
Does this indicate there is another update pending or is its failure to clear a problem?
Jimb
Sam, moving on as I want to build the actual frame for the Magic Mirror and not spend this amount of time on the code which is difficult to understand. Not your fault, but mine. :-)
Sam, you can stick a fork in this one as I don’t need any more help at this point. Thanks for all the assistance!
Sam, all is working OK again. Thanks! FYI, my capitalizations were for emphasis only, not copied or used.
Now, real dumb question "How is “MMM-Config” invoked?
Sam, I was able to grab the text from the terminal running on my computer- this was after starting MM

The I attempted to follow the steps to add the module code to the module sub-folder.
Sam, I read your comments, thanks! I have git-cloned the files into the modules sub-directory. I modified the config.js to include the lines of code you listed. Somehow I’ve blown up the file. Running in dev mode it says “unexpected (:)” is in line 58. I’ve gone over the code and don’t see the issue. Here is my config file-

Sam, sorry to be so dense. You mention the ‘git clone’ command. Is that how ‘all’ your files are moved into the MagicMirror/Moddules directory? I’ll hunt around for the proper usage. It’s a little confusing using commands from the computer though. Please keep im mind this is all new to me, thanks
Sam, into the weeds once again :-)
I read the readme and comments on your MMM-Config module. I was stumped immediately by your comment: “clone this repo” into the config directory. I’m assuming this this is done via WinSCP remotely into the Pi, but have no clue. Some more Linux…
