                So
                What worked for me was so far :
                Installation:
                I installed this: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
                In that tutorial, he said to install git bash. I didn’t I just used cmd from windows.
                From https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror I download the zip file, extracted in C: in windows (not as described in that tutorial).
                I renamed the extracted folder by just deleting master remain only MagicMirror as a folder.
                Open cmd in windows go in C:\MagicMirror and run npm install
                Then I went in C:\MagicMirror\config and delete sample extension ending to have just file named config.js
                After that, as @stedweil advised went and edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause
                It should start with "node_modules, like this
                “start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,
                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
