      @dwburger said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

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

      Thank you dwburger! This fixed my issue!

        I guess I spoke too soon. npm starts, but I have a blank screen. Haven’t done anything to the config.js file, except make a copy of the config.js.sample, and removed the .sample. See output:

        $ npm run config:check

        magicmirror@2.12.0 config:check C:\Users\blake\MagicMirror
        node js/check_config.js

            @blake_northrup because u installed on windows, there are a couple extra steps

            cd MagicMirror
            cd vendor
            npm install
            cd …\fonts. 2dots
            npm install
            cd … 2dot

            the npm start

            this phone editor will not let me enter 2 dots, displays as 3

                @sdetweil Still getting black screen after performing these steps. For some reason, it is stating that I have the wrong syntax in the config file.

                $ npm run config:check

                magicmirror@2.12.0 config:check C:\Users\blake\MagicMirror
                node js/check_config.js

                  @sdetweil Nevermind. All is now working. Had an extra bit of info in my config file that didn’t need to be there. Thanks again for all of your help sdetweil!

                      @dphotograph Hey dphotograph, I had somehow copied the bottom part twice, and that was my problem. I just copied the config sample again, and built all of my modules, one by one.
