If your FitBit application requires running on port 8080, you will run into exactly the problem you have because MagicMirror also runs on that same port. You will have to change one of them. MagicMirror is easy to change, it’s in the config.js file. Change the port setting to something else, like 8081 …or 8585 … or 8123 … doesn’t matter, as long as it’s above 8000, and not 8080 since the Fitbit runs on that port.

I tried that one but can`t find the right install file to put it on…!
I used the V59 version

Hello. I am a complete n00b to programming and need help making sense of these instructions for a magic mirror module. I used (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/2) to set up the magic mirror running on a raspberry pi 3. I got all of that working but I cannot figure out how to get this (https://github.com/SVendittelli/MMM-fitbit/) module to work. I am having probelms figuring out how to get the dependencies working. They error out by saying they have no such directory. Could someone please help me figure this out or explain the steps in more detailed so a brand new person in the world of code could understand. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having trouble installing the fiitbit module linked below. How do I install the dependencies? I am new to coding. Do I have to move the MMM-fitbit folder into the modules folder? The instructions are as follows.

python-shell — npm install python-shell
python-fitbit — sudo pip install -r python/fitbit/requirements.txt

Hello. I cannot figure out how to stop the screen from going black after a few minutes. I followed these instructions and it is still doing it.

"Step 3
Let’s disable the screen saver and screen blanking as well. This needs to be done in two places. First in the autostart configuration:
sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

And add the following to the bottom of the file:

@xset s noblank @xset s off @xset -dpms

Next in the X-windows manager configuration:
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Scroll down to the [SeatDefaults] section and look for the xserver-command line below that. Change the line to look like this:
xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms (so you’re removing the # on the front, and adding the missing bits at the end.) Again, hit CTRL-X and say Y(es) to saving the file.

Step 4
A Raspberry Pi is configured to automatically shutdown parts of the hardware that aren’t actively in use. This includes the WiFi driver. This will cause MagicMiror² to occasionally fail to fetch updates for things like the newsfeed, weather, and others. You can disable the power saving feature for the WiFi from the interfaces configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Find the wlan0 section and add wireless-power off below it:"

An extreme measure here would be to try this:

xscreensaver can be used right off the menu… you can set/turn on/turn off functions.

I am trying to add my appid to get the weather app running, but I can’t figure out how to configure it. What commands do I need to use to get the appid in the code and set up my location? This is my first adventure in the world of coding and am completely lost. Any help is appreciated.
