    @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.

        @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

                    @dude31222 that usually means u didn’t do the fonts install step or vendor install step

                    those are extra for windows install
