@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 you don’t run npm init unless u need to. only if u need to install a library that mm doesn’t reference anymore

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace') at cmpVersions (module.js:525) at Function.Module.register (module.js:502) at MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.js:41I did what you said but still get this error for some reason
-
@swvalenti ok, sometimes this is because of a typo in the config position for the module

Is there a way to make a desktop shortcut to start MagicMirror?
-
@DanClarkCBET3 sure. create a batch file
mm.cmd
in the installers folder, and then use that for the shortcut
mm.cmd should do
@npm start
-
My apologies if the answer to my question is located somewhere in this long thread. As a quick method of bringing some MM functionality to my kids in college, I’d like to install MM onto their laptops and have it autorun at start (like a batch file) and run in a small window.
I see that I can install it on their laptops and I know how to create a batch file, but what I don’t know is how to ensure that a linux program starts in a windows batch file and how to get it to autosize to a small window.
Has anyone done that?

@CheapDad use PM2 to auto launch
this is a node application
-
@sdetweil Don’t think it is an easy straight forward setup for PM2 on Windows to launch the mirror or am I mistaken? Would he have to setup
pm2-windows-serviceand then perform some other setups to get PM2 to work to launch MM on Windows at startup? -
@mumblebaj pm2 setup does all that …

@sdetweil :thumbs_up:

@mumblebaj I was wrong for windows, and setup

@CheapDad Here is a great tutorial to set up PM2 on Windows.
