Installing Magic mirror on windows 10

@Omeliel said in Installing Magic mirror on windows 10:

Type npm install and press the Enter key. This will install the dependencies for MagicMirror.

looks like this step failed

Omeliel

I have done that . Npm install . Still black screen.

@Omeliel show me the output of npm install

@Omeliel u are doing ~/MagicMirror something

you want

cd ~/MagicMirror

THEN

npm install

I think this is causing the files to be put in the users root, NOT in the MagicMirror folder

fonts should be installed in MagicMirror/fonts
vendor should be installed in MagicMirror/vendor

can u see if ~/fonts and ~/vendor exist?

also, at the end, this will fail to run, as the MINGW env has no graphical environment itself,
so electron won’t run… u will need to run serveronly mode and access the MM via another browser

you could install MM ON windows (open cmd.exe)…

also, you are installing under MINGW (looks like linux), not on windows natively

@Omeliel you could install on windows directly

@Omeliel ok, so the problem is in the console side… can u show the messages from the window where you did npm start (called the terminal window)
