Installing MagicMirror on Windows 10

@edwardbuck said in Installing MagicMirror on Windows 10:

R] Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use ::1:8080

that means some other app is using that port…

did you install pm2 and use it to autostart?

if so, THAT instance is using the port…
if you installed pm2, then

pm2 status
pm2 stop all

OK, so I rebooted (should have tried that before), and that error is gone, but now I get an error that keeps repeating 30 times:

[16.03.2024 19:00.34.665] [ERROR] MagicMirror┬▓ will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
[16.03.2024 19:00.34.666] [ERROR] If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

I do get a MagicMirror window, but it is completely blank. Any ideas? Thanks!

@edwardbuck an you confirm that you did the extra steps

npm install in the vendor and fonts folders
and that you have node version 18 or above installed

Sorry for the super long delay in replying to this post. Shortly after I posted, my wife passed way suddenly. I had to put my Magic Mirror project on hold while I dealt with everything.

I finally got back to the project and I decided to start fresh, reinstalled Windows 10, reinstalled Magic Mirror, and it is working now. Not sure what the issue was, but a reinstall seemed to fix it. I have had a few configuration changes to make/issues to fix, but I figured them out thanks to various posts here in this forum, and just trying different things until it worked.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
