Hi all… Looks like a lot of people are trying this… I’m going for it myself but ran into this problem…
When I try to do the
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git

I get the following error.

N6NG@Main-Computer-in-Ham-Shack MINGW64 /
$ git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘MagicMirror’: Permission denied
Anyone figured out how to change permissions… sudo isn’t recognized yet.

@sdetweil I installed MagicMirror no issues on Windows 11 but get undefined on several modules. Here is npm start dev

Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'self'". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-+VvWeRXLFRBjsYaMznmUQGiO1Vl3+a2jdYPOrV4EIp8='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

Lastly, all the modules I have working on another MM are not showing at all just blank. Is this a windows issue?

[swvalenti]

I scoured the forum and internet but can’t find anything on nunchucks I am guessing that is the issue.

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti did u run the extra steps?? (because the postinstall linux syntax fails on windows)

cd vendor
npm install
cd ..
cd fonts 
npm install
cd ..

now u can start

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti black screen

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil Hey Sam it’s not a black screen just modules show as undefined…like weather, news and components all other modules show

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti where did u install the extra modules?

same place as on linux

MagicMirror/modules

right??
