            Sam, is there something that I need to change in the original post that is causing problems?

              @Mykle1 May I butt in here. I was the one who started the question. I had to change the “start:” string in the package.json file to:

              “start”:“node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”

              As Sam instructed. Once I did that, the “npm start” command got my MM2 running.

              Thanks, BTW, for creating the walkthrough. I’m thrilled to have MM2 running on my old Acer laptop!

                Oh, I thought perhaps something in the tutorial was wrong. I did not know that MM changed in a way that caused the tutorial to fail. :-(

                You’re welcome. When I wrote this I was thrilled as well and have since moved to strictly laptop boards, However, I moved from Windows to ubuntu and I’ve never been happier. MM loves linux (ubuntu) and runs beautifully under it, without jumping through any hoops for Windows. It also uses far less resources than Windows. Consider it. You won’t be sorry.

                And here it is.

                  @Mykle1 I will definitely take a look at Ubuntu. I got here since 1 of my 2 MM2 running with RPi isn’t stable enough and I’ve run out of things to try. I also have an old MacMini that I’m going to try. Thanks for the encouragement!

                    Dude, you’ll have so much fun doing it. I guarantee it! (Well, almost). But I did. And your MacMini? I’ve done Mac boards with ubuntu and MM, as well.

                    Here. Take a look.
