      @arciemaps new version of MagicMirror just came out a few days ago.

      I would scrap everthing and start over with the instructions for the walkthrough.

      Only changes I would make is to be sure to get the latest version of everything, ie: nodejs, git for windows, and the MagicMirror.

      I think when I started to do this, I had a few problems at first, but once I got it to work, then it got a lot easier…

      Are you using Win & 32-bit or 64-bit???

              Followed your guide to install on my windows 10 - 64 bit machine.
              Installation went OK, but when I start mirror I just get a black screen.

              This is the error message

              Launching application.
              Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
              { Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080
                  at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
                  at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1046:20)
                  at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (net.js:1351:14)
                  at listenInCluster (net.js:1392:12)
                  at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.doListen [as callback] (net.js:1501:7)
                  at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:97:10)
                code: 'EADDRINUSE',
                errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
                syscall: 'listen',
                address: '127.0.0.1',
                port: 8080 }
              MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
              
              
              

              Hope you can help me out.

                @johans said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

                Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080
                at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
                at _exceptionWithHostPort

                This typically means that another application or program is using the port (8080) that MagicMirror uses. You would have to resolve that issue

                  Thanks for the info, can’t find out who is using port 8080, but I changed in the config to use another port.
                  Now all is working. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

                      @mykle1 FYI
                      Meanwhile I found the problem of port 8080, due to some malware on that PC, the proxi settings where modified, only option was to re-install OS. Lucky I had some backup so that didn’t took so long.
                      Now proxi settings are no longer hi-jacked and I can run MM normally.
                      Problem solved!

                        Ahh, Windows. I no longer use it for MM. I’m strictly a ubuntu 16.04 LTS guy now.
