      @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

                Oh, I just copied as it was! It might have been a different guide, it was old after all… I see the backward slashes in a later post now.

                So now I tried

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

                (with both the double and single space, just in case) and it’s giving me the same error still.
                I tested changing the start-dev variant too.
                I must be missing another step still.

                    @sdetweil No problem! Browser version works fine for tinkering in the meantime :)

                    npm is 8.17.0

                      @Reila hm… this is what mine is set to

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

                      and I don’t get any errors, but electron starts full screen, black screen

                      but if I open edge and go to localhost:8080 it looks great and if I open electron
                      (the 1st part, node_modules\.bin\electron) and go to http://localhost:8080
                      it works…
