@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.

Had enough? Lets run that MagicMirror, NOW!
Hallo there,
if you will find some free time to help :
I tried a few times to process the whole procedure of starting new MM software on PC - I am not even a newbie so it is really hard to say what I am doing wrong.
see pic - does it say to you anything?
it seems I will have to give up - programming is not for all ;-)

@Uwe-Kretsen do not install under mingw, just open a command prompt/ powershell prompt and do the git clone/npm install
u need git of course and node/npm (google how to install)
then u need to do some more steps as the setup is for linux
cd MagicMirror cd vendor npm install cd .. cd fonts npm install cd ..
then edit package.json and change the start line
from"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
to
"start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
then npm start works as expected
also, you must manually copy the MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample to the initial config.js
also create the empty MagicMirror/css/custom.css -
@sdetweil Dear Sam, thank you for the help - it start to work. I am really grateful fro support.
Now I will spend some days or weeks :-) to find out how to add /remove extra modules. hope to do my MagicMirror project to the end.
once again thank you
