<![CDATA[npm start problem ELIFECYCLE]]>Hi Guys,

I’m trying to work MagicMirror on my Windows 10
I did try all way , (cpm clear cache, npm install, eletcron install, deletenode_modeules directory, and re-install, delete package.json.lock etc)
But when I call npm start server (or only npm start)
It shows :

magicmirror@2.12.0 start C:\Users\Emrah Aslan\Desktop\SmartWall\smartwall
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js “server”

‘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@2.12.0 start: DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js "server"
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.12.0 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:
npm ERR! C:\Users\Emrah Aslan\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2020-09-05T00_05_52_349Z-debug.log

How can I run this, on my browser ? I need your supervisor

Followed the instructions, and got the DISPLAy errror. Followed the earlier instructions in this thread to clean it up. - no difference.
Followed these last instructions to remove the display, and new I get:

npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! file C:\Users\PC\MagicMirror\package.json
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse json
npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected token . in JSON at position 172 while parsing near ‘…pts": {

npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse package.json data.
npm ERR! JSON.parse package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
