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

@vintage89 which git did u install? mine is a binary
-
@vintage89 also, after installing python, did you close and re-open the command prompt? the path is set only when the window opens
-
@sdetweil Tried installing this module https://github.com/Thlb/MMM-synology-ds
-
@vintage89 said in Installing modules on windows:
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 -
@sdetweil
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!

A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-04-11T12_59_29_059Z-debug.logI changed the package.json to this - like you said in my other post:
-
@vintage89 do
export DISPLAY=:0
then
npm startthese two steps are what the original code did, would have worked on linux… just not on Windows…
windows doesn’t have ‘xwindows display’ -
@sdetweil
