Magicmirror: Black Screen Issue

[matthieu994]

Hello,
After the setup of config.js and installation of npm and node, I succeed to launch the app but the screen is all black, and same for the index.html

Just type npm start in vendor file and it works!

hello @Nograe I'm having the same issue. Tried all of the other suggestions mentioned in other issues that are similar. including the "en" change but nothing seems to be working so my problem must be elsewhere.

What do you mean by vendor file?

for anyone else, i solved my blank screen issue by

cd ~/MagicMirror/vendor
npm install

it will download fonts and icons needed by modules.

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

and now it shows modules perfectly 💃 ..

Magic Mirror would not properly install for me after doing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. However, after doing: apt-get -y dist-upgrade, the Magic Mirror package installed. From there, I went inside MagicMirror and ran: git pull && npm install. That brought me current with an installed version of Magic Mirror. Again, thanks to hyd00 for the vendor folder recommendation.

I was stuck for hours on this, thanks @hyd00! Should be added to the instructions for manual install.
