      I’m trying to install modules on windows - but I get the following error. I’ve installed python - but no change.
      Any suggestions? :)

      
      gyp ERR! find Python
      gyp ERR! find Python Python is not set from command line or npm configuration
      gyp ERR! find Python Python is not set from environment variable PYTHON

          @vintage89 also, after installing python, did you close and re-open the command prompt? the path is set only when the window opens

              @vintage89 said in Installing modules on windows:

              https://github.com/Thlb/MMM-synology-ds

              ok, that installed, fine, but has an embedded component that is electron version sensitive

              so

              cd ~/MagicMirror
              npm install electron-rebuild
              cd modules/MMM-synology-ds
              ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
              cd ~/MagicMirror
              npm start

                Thanks :)
                I´ve run the script, but when I tried to start it gave me this:

                
                pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
                
                > magicmirror@2.11.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
                > electron js/electron.js
                
                
                (electron:8589): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:59:29.032: cannot open display: 
                npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
                npm ERR! errno 1
                npm ERR! magicmirror@2.11.0 start: `electron js/electron.js`
                npm ERR! Exit status 1
                npm ERR! 
                npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.11.0 start script.
                npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

                I changed the package.json to this - like you said in my other post:

                  @vintage89 do

                  export DISPLAY=:0

                  then
                  npm start

                  these two steps are what the original code did, would have worked on linux… just not on Windows…
                  windows doesn’t have ‘xwindows display’
