      C:\Users\Svale\MagicMirror>npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.18.0 start
      > ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

        ./node_modules

        yes, you cannot have the ./ in front… windows doesn’t understand that …

                      electron js\electron.js

                      u still have it wrong

                      “node_modules/.bin/electron electron.js”

                      electron is not in the path, so you have to give it the path to the executable

                      once again different versions of node and npm require slightly different solutions…
                      this is not an MM problem… they keep messing it up (in my opinion)

                            @sdetweil the only thing that isn’t working now is when I run npm init-y in each module folder the module in the dev window is still asking for replace instead of request

                                    @swvalenti ok, sometimes this is because of a typo in the config position for the module
