      Hi there, it there any Magic-Mirror emulator that can simulate my developing MM-modules? I would prefer to develop the code on Windows-based before actually running it on the MagicMirror environment. Or, how you guys develop the modules if you are new to MM like me?

        @leoliao1980 either a VM with Debian or a dedicated (Debian) partition looks already fine to me.

            @hango with Windows based,it’s very very limited.
            complex module will not works (sample any module with voice [assistant])

            @Cr4z33 idea is really an alternative ;)

            Note: Raspbian is a debian version made for RPI

              @leoliao1980 install winscp or bitvise ssh client on your pc,

              then you can double click edit files on your pi, start and stop mm from the ssh window

              and use your browser to see the mm page ( w address:“0.0.0.0”, and ipWhitelist:[]
              set in the pi mm config.js

              it’s the best of both worlds

                @leoliao1980 also, the process is the same.
                you don’t edit IN mm, you edit the files used, then launch mm.

                you can do that in windows, as long as I don’t need access to any pi hardware.

                install process
                git clone like normal
                cd MagicMirror
                npm install
                cd …\fonts
                npm install
                cd …\vendor
                npm install
                cd …
                npm start
