                            @sdetweil This is solid gold :shooting_star: for the Windoz user in me! With these finishing steps, it works as expected. Thanks again!
                            p.s. bonus points for suggesting notepad for editing the package.json along with the steps to quit nodepad… Too funny!

                              Hi, everyone!

                              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!

                              This is my log:

                                        Hi all, I am giving this a try and running into the same errors as above, i have followed the advise but i dont get the black screen, after the error fix for display, i get new error:
                                        $ npm start

                                        magicmirror@2.14.0 start C:\Users\Richard\MagicMirror
                                        electron js/electron.js

                                        ‘electron’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
                                        operable program or batch file.
                                        npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
                                        npm ERR! errno 1
                                        npm ERR! magicmirror@2.14.0 start: electron js/electron.js
                                        npm ERR! Exit status 1
                                        npm ERR!
                                        npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.14.0 start script.
                                        npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

                                        npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
                                        npm ERR! C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2021-03-29T19_41_46_132Z-debug.log

                                        any help here would be great, thanks
