Error after typing npm start

@dr2man are you doing this on windows?

read the rest of the instructions

Yes Windows 10, I have looked at the rest of the page. If there is something I am supposed to see can you point it out? I continue to get this: ‘DISPLAY’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
After running the npm start command.
Thanks

you always have to be in the MagicMirror folder when issuing npm start
or other commands for MagicMirror

so,
cd MagicMirror
then
npm start

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your help, I had surgery last week and recuperating, and I will be getting back to the project soon.
