        @sdetweil Thank you for replying,
        I followed your instructions and ran:

        cd ~/MagicMirror
        git checkout develop
        git pull
        npm install
        

        but I still get

        npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
        npm ERR! path C:\Users\CompName\MagicMirror/package.json
        npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected token "." (0x2E) in JSON at position 181 while parsing near "...ts\": {\r\n\t\t\"start\":  ./node_modules/.bin/..."
        npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse JSON data.
        npm ERR! JSON.parse Note: package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

          @beachjosh77 yes, you STILL have to follow the special windows instructions

          package.json is updated and replaced every release…

            @sdetweil I forgot to mention, I also ran npm install in fonts and vendors and changed package.json to remove the display again

              EJSONPARSE
