          @Omeliel u are doing ~/MagicMirror something

          you want

          cd ~/MagicMirror

          THEN

          npm install

          I think this is causing the files to be put in the users root, NOT in the MagicMirror folder

          fonts should be installed in MagicMirror/fonts
          vendor should be installed in MagicMirror/vendor

          can u see if ~/fonts and ~/vendor exist?

          also, at the end, this will fail to run, as the MINGW env has no graphical environment itself,
          so electron won’t run… u will need to run serveronly mode and access the MM via another browser

          you could install MM ON windows (open cmd.exe)…

          also, you are installing under MINGW (looks like linux), not on windows natively

                        So
                        What worked for me was so far :
                        Installation:
                        I installed this: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
                        In that tutorial, he said to install git bash. I didn’t I just used cmd from windows.
                        From https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror I download the zip file, extracted in C: in windows (not as described in that tutorial).
                        I renamed the extracted folder by just deleting master remain only MagicMirror as a folder.
                        Open cmd in windows go in C:\MagicMirror and run npm install
                        Then I went in C:\MagicMirror\config and delete sample extension ending to have just file named config.js
                        After that, as @stedweil advised went and edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause
                        It should start with "node_modules, like this
                        “start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
                        Now trying to start mm I got black screen only.
                        I can’t remember where I saw but I think MichMich advice to go in C:\MagicMirror\vendor and run again npm install, I have done that and it worked.
                        Now regarding editing the config.js, it need to be edited according to your area . There some tutorials for that too.
