<![CDATA[Having a blackscreen with no modules.]]>So I just freshly installed MM on Windows, (no installation error) now I want to it on windows/in browser to costumize/change things easier.

This had worked before the “BIG 1.11 Update” but doesnt now.

The weird things is, when I do “npm run server” the server starts (localhost:8080), the LOG says the modules are loaded, but I dont see them in my browser.

I tried to fix it, but I dont really know what to do.

I’d really appreciate the help and have anice day (:

the developers window will give you errors that caused the black screen

but on windows do this

cd MagicMirror
cd vendor
npm install
cd ..\fonts
npm install
cd ..\MagicMirror

edit package.json
change the start line from

    "start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

to this

    "start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

I mean “git pull” is unnecessary if I freshly installed?
And for which reason should I open the console?

And since I only have the defualt modules, none has a “package.json” file.

Thanks for your reply.

did

git pull
npm install

AND in EVERY module folder that has a package,json file do

npm install

then on browser, ctrl-shift-i or f12 to open developers window, and find the console tab
