      You copied the sample, pasted it and renamed the copy to config.js?

      What is your terminal reporting?

            Well, it certainly shows that MM is launching and running. There are several black screen topics that you can look through. Do a forum search for black screen. Otherwise, perhaps someone else will chime in that had the same problem. I suspect that electron may be at fault or that your dependencies failed to install properly

                there is a bug in the electron browser that causes the black screen.

                i did

                npm remove electron
                npm install electron@1.7.9

                and it works fine now…

                someone posted another solution to issue 1243

                  I will have to try that. Thank you! My fix had been to install another web browser and use that. Electron’s built-in browser seemed to always show a black screen.
