        @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:

            there are 3 dots in the CD commands change it to 2 dots

            do NOT install under min.

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

              ‘node_moudles’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
              operable program or batch file.
