    @Johans on my windows 11 with 16.9.0 (node version) and package.js start line like this

    		"start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
    

    I see this is the startup messages

    > node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js
    

    I see the same results on node 17.7.2

      @Johans sorry, I missed this line

      but in the end I prefere more the linux, so I installed debian, git, nodejs, and MM.
      

      so, you do NOT change the package.json for linux… only for windows…

          @Johans the file is saved in the users home folder

          on linux that is called ~

          cd ~ will take you to the home folder

          and u can reference any file there the same way

          ~/install.log

          is the same as
          /home/{username}/install.log

          using the environment info
          /home/$USER/install.log

          unix/linux was born on slow teletype terminals… so there are shortcuts for everything to reduce typing and shorten output…

          thats why cd is the same as the long name chdir

            @sdetweil I don’t seem to find such a file in the root directory.

              @Johans said in install MM2.18 on win10 pc:

              file in the root directory.

              not in the root /

              in the users home
              ~/

              you CANNOT do MM as root…

              you MUST logon as a normal user (in my case sam on my ubuntu system)

                @sdetweil I have the icon under windows and when I start, Ubuntu it starts with the user I created during installation. ubuntulogin.png

                So I guess this is my normal user?

                I installed node & MM from jstal@DESKTOP-HF7R0J9 As I think this is correct - or not?

                    @sdetweil , yes lsw2 that is how I installed it. So that is not good? How do I then make a proper installation on a windows PC? Do you have a link-guide to follow?

                      @Johans open a cmd.exe window

                      and then do the install steps

                      but you said u did that already…

                      but wanted linux

                      for linux desktop on windows you have to use a virtual machine…

                      now, you might be able to run server mode and use the windows browser to access
                      in the lsw linux command prompt
                      cd ~/MagicMirror
                      npm run server

                      then go to windows desktop and open browser
                      http://localhost:8080
