      @airart yes,

      npm install -g npm@6.14.0

      after this completes

      cd MagicMirror
      rd /s/q node_modules
      npm install

            @sdetweil it works ! I am so moved, evidently that was the problem.
            Does CMD remain active how do I leave the MM? fn + f11 reduces to window
            I also noticed some warnings

                Thanks for the tutorial, i’m running magicmirror on a surface pro 4,

                The installation worked perfectly but when i tried to run npm start it throw an error “> DISPLAY=”${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js"

                To bypass the error i edited the package.json by removing the DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0} at the begining, tried npm start and it worked.

                I’m not sure for what is that display option.

                  @matefits71 on Linux, the xwindows graphical system writes to a numbered ‘display’ , and there can be multiple.

                  windows doesn’t have that. which is why I’ve written to remove that part, and also run the manual npm install in vendors and go ta folders
