      I get this screen again on both PC’s I have tried to install on.

      Once before I had this problem the fix was to delete

      Problem is now I can’t seem to find the correct place where this instruction is

      Below is the message I get.

      C:\Users\Dell Server>cd MagicMirror

      C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror>npm start

      magicmirror@2.11.0 start C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror
      DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

      ‘DISPLAY’ 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@2.11.0 start: DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js
      npm ERR! Exit status 1
      npm ERR!
      npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.11.0 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:

      C:\Users\Dell Server\MagicMirror>

        Finally found it

        It resides in package.json

        DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}

        Deleted the above

        " ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js"

        and it works
