So everything is working out great for me, i have added some great modules, and in the processing of adding more.
The only one thing i am not able to figure out is the measure of unit for the weather.
I am in the US, in texas, and even if i use the imperial unit it wont show it correctly and the weather is totally off.

                {
                        module: "MMM-Weather",
                        position: "top_right",
                        header: "Weather Forecast - Katy, TX",
                        configDeepMerge: true,
                        config: {
                        debug: false,
                        updateInterval: "15m", // 15 minutes
                        updateFadeSpeed: 500,
                        api: {
                          key: "98dbcccba012ef0fd49c86665a0df584",

                          units: "imperial"
                                },

Have a look a this code.. and the partial screenshot of my magic mirror through vnc viewer

@sdetweil Dear Sir, you are a genius, i finally got it working. Surely it was an install issue. Using your installation script, and in the past 2 hours i have already inculcated 4 third party modules, and all seems to be working. I might have a question or two later tomorrow when i make more progress, but for now, the main issue is resolved.

Socrates

@sdetweil
So i have installed mm using your script, and i am up and running, havent installed the modules yet, but that is because i am not able to shutdown mm using pm2 command, mm has been started using pm2 via your script.
None of these commands work
pm2 restart mm
pm2 stop mm

@sdetweil
I have tried todoist, the calander ext2 module, dynamic weather module, several others. I think i might have an installation issue… I will just reformat my card and re-install using your script.
So after i install rpi, do i run ur script in terminal, and follow the prompts?

Socrates

@sdetweil Thanks i am gonna follow these steps and let you know.
I am literally installing one module at a time, but none of the 3rd party module works. Even if i try to edit the inbuilt module that MM came with for eg:- the calendar, i try to add my own google calendar, it wont work. (meaning my calendar wont show up).
Do u have recommendations of which modules i can initially start with so that all the basic pre-requisite libraries get installed?

Socrates

@sdetweil
Do u think i should install MM some other way? I cannot think of anything else.

Socrates

@sdetweil thanks see my third post , i have the logs uploaded when i tried to install request using
npm install request

and then it shows three more packages that are depreciated.
Not able to install none of those.
