@yo-less You’re a hero!

I didn’t know this was possible either, but I’m gonna get it installed on my laptop.

It’s annoying when I have a spare 30 minutes, but I have to get the pi/monitor out and set it all up before getting started!

Now I can mess around and tinker on my laptop!

Cheers

This method is no longer working… it’s throwing errors like crazy. Latest version of nodejs and npm still throws errors and won’t install.

Just in case someone bumps into this like I did, I just followed the directions yo-less posted above and it worked fine for me on windows 10.

Works like a charm! (except that folders constantly have the post-name _Master - which you need to remove: after installation, make sure everything “lives” in the folder C:\MagicMirror (or similar)

Notes on how to install modules - here are MY 2 cents:
Find the module you like; go to the GTT depository but select “Downloads as Zip”. Find the ZIP file and extract it into the MODULES subdirectory (in my example, C:\MagicMirror\modules). RENAME the folder you just created by removing the trailing _Master.
Presto. Works great.

LOL Well I just rename them but I know how you feel. I believe they do it that way because that way the user knows it’s getting the correct branch :)

@cowboysdude this will not work, because the js file cannot be found then

@amanzimdwini if yozu dont install the modules wuth git clone you have to redo the whole process for every update
