      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

                        I have exacthly the same problem Trying to install MM on Windows 10.
                        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:
                        C:\Users\PC\MagicMirror>npm start
                        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 Failed to parse package.json data.
                        npm ERR! JSON.parse package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.
