@Nero easier, use the bitvise ssh client, then u can drag/drop, double click to edit, and have an ssh window open for commands too… free… easy

@Chrisflex read the readme for each module

@JohnBachini what a pain

try this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-synology-ds/node_modules/mmmagic
# force rebuild to the version of node electron is running
~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

try again

@mrlowndes when the sd card starts to fail, it is toast

@VesaLa59 the newer versions of chrome have added support for some protected environment (sandbox), but its very restrictive

run the fixsandbox script from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixsandbox)"

@blake_northrup because u installed on windows, there are a couple extra steps

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd …\fonts. 2dots
npm install
cd … 2dot

the npm start

this phone editor will not let me enter 2 dots, displays as 3

@Dimasua there is a bug in GoogleMapsTraffic

I have an updated version that seems to work, and have submitted to the author, but they have not taken the fix.

try this

@spblat if the module has a node_helper.js, you need to restart MM for any changes to take place

@Uwe-Kretsen do not install under mingw, just open a command prompt/ powershell prompt and do the git clone/npm install

u need git of course and node/npm (google how to install)

then u need to do some more steps as the setup is for linux

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..
cd fonts
npm install
cd ..

then edit package.json and change the start line
from

		"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

to

		"start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

then npm start works as expected

also, you must manually copy the MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample to the initial config.js
also create the empty MagicMirror/css/custom.css

@Envynot sounds like you are running on windows…
.
two extra steps

cd MagicMirror 
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..
cd fonts
npm install
cd ..

now u can start mm again

@wenike deprecated doesn’t mean no longer works… just means you “shouldn’t use it for NEW development”

SO, if its not loaded, YOU can still load it…

npm install valid-url

in whatever module needs it

@stardyze unuxpected token, means the line before doesn’t end with a comma

@r3d6

open a terminal window
ctrl-alt-t

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rm -rf   xxxxx

where xxxxx is the module you have installed and now want to delete.

exact letter case matters
foo is not the same as Foo on Linux

then do

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
nano config.js

use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move up and down, left and right

find the entry

module:"xxxxx`,

where xxxxx is the module u want to delete
move the cursor to the right end of that line

hit the enter key
type

 disabled:true,

hit Ctrl-o
hit enter

hit ctrl-x

you will be back at the terminal window prompt

do

cd ~/MagicMirror

you can now restart MagicMirror however you do that
npm start
or
pm2 restart

read the two links in my signature below
we did the disable approach cause it’s the easiest to do, and requires the least amount of content format knowledge.

@r3d6 my bullseye script should handle either way. I updated the comments to include other systems, not just bullseye

@pminich weird
do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git pull

also

git checkout filename

will restore a file to it’s repo contents.

@Jarhead96097 please never do audit… causes more problems than it fixes

@mumblebaj and we have found npm install parms to turn off the warning coming in next release, and already in my scripts.

@dude31222 our browser code, and many modules, require JavaScript level ES6.

es6 was approved in 2015.
