'DISPLAY' is not recognized... on Windows 10

[dj94506]

Hi,
This is my first stab at installing MagicMirror2. I’m on Windows 10. The installation was a straightforward, only default options, i.e., a click-click-click process that seems to have done its thing.

Then, this happened:

$ npm start

magicmirror@2.25.0 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.

I’m aware of the DISPLAY:0 game in the UNIX world; however, I haven’t encountered it in the Windows. Any suggestions for a semi-skilled newbie would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

@swvalenti so the

npm run install-mm 

was not done or not successful

@dj94506 you did not follow all the instructions

Upgraded on windows 10 using sam script. Changed the package.json but I am getting the below error. Any ideas

> magicmirror@2.28.0 start
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js

The system cannot find the path specified.

Below are the start lines per documentation

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

@swvalenti so, if you look does the path exist?
you didn’t use my script on windows

did you run the 3 npm installs?

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil yea I ran the 3 npm scripts. Never had to change the path on prior so I assumed that would still be the case. You mean c:user etc?

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti no, in the MagicMirror folder is there a node_modules folder, etc

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil there is not a node_modules folder

@swvalenti so the

npm run install-mm 

was not done or not successful
