      Today I installed the current version of MM on Win10 in C:\MagicMirror. I had a previous version running without issue in C:\Users. I did not re-install Node. I am getting this message “Config template file not exists, no ensubst”. The rest of the loading messages seem normal with the last message being “Sockets connected and modules started”. Config:check does not find any errors. Here is my config.js

      let config = {
      	address: "localhost",	// Address to listen on, can be:
      							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
      							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
      							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
      							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
      	port: 8080,
      	basePath: "/",			// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
      					  		// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
      	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
      															// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
      															// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
      															// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
      															// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
      
      	useHttps: false, 		// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
      	httpsPrivateKey: "", 	// HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
      	httpsCertificate: "", 	// HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true
      
      	language: "en",
      	locale: "en-US",
      	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
      	timeFormat: 12,
      	units: "imperial",
      
      	modules: [
      		{ // clock
      			module: "clock",
      			position: "top_left"
      		},
      	
      	]
      };
      
      /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
      if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
      
      

      I would appreciate some help in troubleshooting this. Thank you for taking a look.

        @DDE12 this is a new feature, allowing runtime substitution of variables in the config
        see
        https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#environment-variables

        the message just says we didn’t find the env file to use, not an error

        this goes along with some additional messaging in the case where we couldn’t find the module you specified in config.js … instead of being silent…

          @sdetweil Thank you for taking a look at this. I forgot to put in the first post that the MM screen doesn’t start. If that message does not indicate an error, then I have another problem. Please let me know what else to try or what further info I can provide. Thanks!

              @DDE12 but I think you need to do the npm install in the MagicMirror folder
