          @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

                    Heyo!
                    I’ve done a fresh install of MM2 (on Win10), and now I’m struggling with the blank electron screen.

                    I did the vendor and font install, changed the package.json to

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

                    according to the guide on page 15, and now I’m getting

                    bash: line 1: node_modules.binelectron: command not found
                    

                    on npm start, doesn’t start up MM.

                      @Reila you did not do the package.json edit correctly.

                      windows uses slashes leaning left

                      and u need 2 in each place

                      node-modules\\.bin\\electron  js\\electron.js
