Building mirror without programing

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
Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

I am so glad we have you! :)

Hmm - you SURE? I must have been lucky, since it worked for me just the way I described it (though I had to rename the extracted ZIPs by removing the -master extension: that’s why I published my results: so that others would also succeed). On my Win10, I successfully installed at least
Wunderground
MMM-forecast-io
Wunderlist
Valentine(and probably a few others - would need to check).
Like I said, probably I was just lucky. But it worked for me.
[@cowboysdude said I should rename (have not tried it, though you stated that that would not work?)]
Thanks for reading/commenting.

@amanzimdwini That’s what I did too… just cut off the -master at the end when I downloaded them but now I just do:
~MagicMirror/modules/
Then I do a 'git clone… ’
That’s the easiest way actually :)
