F11 seems to be a got hint, even it comes from @Mykle1 or @sdetweil.

Will try it this evening - thanks!

For me setup running MagicMirror on Windows 10 worked by:

cloning the repository
then edit package.json by changing following line:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "./run-start.sh",

to:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "bash ./run-start.sh",

Simple change, works in every location on my PC.

$ npm start

magicmirror@2.10.1 start C:\Users\Office\MagicMirror
./run-start.sh

@jagdambasoft as above i post an error
Now in package.json change a line under scripts

    "start": "./run-start.sh",
to
    "start": "run-start.sh",

I’m using Windows 10 and got the previous message as well. Changing to “run-start.sh” just opens the file with my text editor. I’m missing something.

Does this require Adminstrator login…I am not logged in as administrator

@jagdambasoft try the results of the post just before yours

@aab142 windows … ugh… the script needs access to bash but doesn’t understand ./

so remove the ./

I’ve started this installation process from 3 years ago on an old Acer laptop running Windows 10. It’s installing MM2 right now. Just wondering…have the walkthrough steps/commands changed in the intervening 3 years in any way that I need to know? I scanned the 85 posts and didn’t see any, but I could have missed it/them. Thanks! And, I’m really glad this topic is still alive!
