@Chrisflex
Well… What have you done until now?
Have you installed MagicMirror on your dellserver?
Where have you done the git clone command?
You need to enter that directory before doing npm start

cd MagicMirror
npm start

Maybe have a look at the documentation again?

thanks I have used this since I am trying to do this on a Windows PC.

It is installed on my Dell Server.

I have not done git clone yet

It asks that I clone a repository

Not sure which depository it wants me to clone and how do I point it to that repository.

C:\Users\Dell Server\

Got this now I read somewhere that this is what needs to change for the display to work.

`DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

needs to be removed, I just can’t remember where to access this setting.

$ npm start

magicmirror@2.11.0 start C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

‘DISPLAY’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Found and sorted !

Now to load custom modules for news weather quote of the day etc.

@Chrisflex also, check , the install process is written for linux…

the two last steps need to be done manually

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..\fonts
npm install

@Chrisflex - Please use the markdown features of the forum when posting logs and code.

That aside, I’m glad you got it sorted out.

[Chrisflex]

Thanks

Now to add modules…

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners/2

The link shows instructions for the Pi and not Windows.

@Chrisflex - They’re pretty much one and the same. You already have git installed. Open a terminal in the modules folder, clone the module repository into it, follow the module’s instructions on installing & configuring.
