Thank you very much I will try it.

Thank you again it works!

I now have to figure out a way to change the news feed and get the local weather.

@Chrisflex read the readme for each module

@sdetweil This is solid gold :shooting_star: for the Windoz user in me! With these finishing steps, it works as expected. Thanks again!
p.s. bonus points for suggesting notepad for editing the package.json along with the steps to quit nodepad… Too funny!

Hi, everyone!

I have a task to install Magic Mirror on Windows. And I am very happy to find here. I tried the steps, but it still has error. My pc is Windows 10.
I also changed package.json from:
“start”: “DISPLAY=”${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
to
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
I am new to JS, please tell me where I am wrong. Thank you!

This is my log:
