Installing Magic mirror on windows 10

[vivian0239]

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:
