@Mykle1 First off, thanks so much for a great guide. I’m having what is likely a simple issue, but I can’t figure out how to resolve it. I am getting the following error message with the npm start command. Not concerned about the warnings, but how do resolve the DISPLAY issue?
$ npm start npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead. > magicmirror@2.20.0 start > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 'DISPLAY' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. cliff@BNC-LAB01 MINGW64 ~/MagicMirror (master) $ -
@Cliff365 see the end of the post I just linked to in the prior post
also, do not run under mingw… just cmd.exe

@Mykle1 Thanks for your help on the DISPLAY issue. I changed the line in packages.json file to:
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
I get the following error message back:
> magicmirror@2.20.0 start > node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 'node_modules' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. -

@dude31222 never tried win7 myself… this topic was created a while ago…
you can TRY setting an environment variable in the cmd.exe window before executing npm start
cd MagicMirror set ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1 npm start -
@sdetweil still having an empty screen but no more error messages in cmd
-
@dude31222 that usually means u didn’t do the fonts install step or vendor install step
those are extra for windows install
