Hello.
I understand that this is probably a children’s problem, but I don’t know how to solve it.
I’m trying to test a module for a companion that is currently in development, it’s not available through the companion interface, I just downloaded it from github.
I just downloaded the code from github as a folder
`companion-module-limagiran-holyrics-main`
and I placed the module folder along the path
`C:\Program Files\Companion_Beta\resources\module-legacy\manifests`
Where the companion itself is installed.
When starting the module it gives an error
> system: \*\* Starting Connection from “C:\Program Files\Companion\_Beta\resources\module-legacy\manifests\companion-module-limagiran-holyrics-main\main.js” \*\*
> system: \*\* Connection started \*\*

Tell me what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Open Terminal (Mac) or the Command Line (Windows) and go to the folder that contains the module, and type
`yarn`
See if that fixes the problem.

Might not work though if you don’t have a dev environment set up.
IIWU, I’d contact the dev and ask them to create a dev build that you can download, like I do here.

yeah, it didn’t work…
I guess I’m missing some components to make it work ☹

contact the Developer and ask him/her to make you a build.
