MM on Windows - Updated now get black screen

@beachjosh77 yes? you have to do all the install steps again

manually npm install in fonts and vendors and change package.json.

see the doc

@beachjosh77 also, there is a bug, for windows , so you have to get the next version develop branch

@sdetweil Thank you for replying,
I followed your instructions and ran:

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout develop
git pull
npm install

but I still get

npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! path C:\Users\CompName\MagicMirror/package.json
npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected token "." (0x2E) in JSON at position 181 while parsing near "...ts\": {\r\n\t\t\"start\":  ./node_modules/.bin/..."

@beachjosh77 yes, you STILL have to follow the special windows instructions

package.json is updated and replaced every release…

@sdetweil I forgot to mention, I also ran npm install in fonts and vendors and changed package.json to remove the display again

@beachjosh77 said in MM on Windows - Updated now get black screen:

EJSONPARSE

maybe you edited, but you messed it up

beachjosh77

@sdetweil That worked, thank you!
