just open a command prompt (CMD.exe) and do npm install

I have a task to install Magic Mirror on Windows. And I am very happy to find here. I tried the steps, but it still has error. My pc is Windows 10.
I also changed package.json from:
“start”: “DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
to
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
I am new to JS, please tell me where I am wrong. Thank you!

read the readme for each module

I second this motion. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

I now have to figure out a way to change the news feed and get the local weather.

cd ~/MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..\fonts
npm install
cd ..

Here is the log from the Console

I am having the exact same problem

what problem?

install nodejs  (google search)
(includes npm)

install git (google search)

open cmd.exe 

git clone magicmirror repo

cd MagicMirror\config
copy config.js.sample config.js
cd ..
npm install --only=prod
when finished
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..\fonts
npm install
cd ..
notepad package.json
change start line to 
    "start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
ctrl-s to save
alt key, file, exit to close ( or use mouse, file, exit)
npm start

voila

Now trying to start mm I got black screen only.
I can’t remember where I saw but I think MichMich advice to go in C:\MagicMirror\vendor and run again npm install, I have done that and it worked.
Now regarding editing the config.js, it need to be edited according to your area . There some tutorials for that too.

is it working or not? prior message says working, your new question seems it is not
