Additional modules not working

I've tried to add additional modules to the mounts/modules folder, but it is not working. Also tried to access the container (docker exec -it <container_id> bash) to run npm install on the module, with no success.
I can see the module in the interface, but it's stuck at the loading phase.

Hence, is there a specific procedure to adopt in order to install new modules?

You already found the "specific procedure" which is doing this stuff from inside the container.

So with docker exec -it mm bash you are in the mm directory and then you have to navigate in the modules folder e.g. cd modules/MMM-XYZ and run npm install.

Stuck at the loading phase can be everything, error in config.js or modules not working out of the box (e.g. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later).

Thank you. I solved by rebooting the whole system. Is there a quicker way?
