@JackHammer325 are you using the native windows or running in the linux subsystem for windows?

JackHammer325 · Jan 20, 2024, 2:54 PM

@sdetweil
native windows with program Git Bash

sdetweil · Jan 20, 2024, 2:58 PM

@JackHammer325 do not need git bash

just cmd.exe
npm start
or npm run server

of course u have to change package.json per the instructions due to the windows backslash for path

@sdetweil
so i followed these instructions

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
"start:dev": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js dev",

and replace it with

"start": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
"start:dev": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js dev",

but it still goes back to
C:\magicmirror>
and does nothing.

@JackHammer325 dont use min

just install under cmd.exe , do the extra steps, then npm start

JackHammer325 · Jan 20, 2024, 3:59 PM

@sdetweil
alright I will try that and let you know of the outcome!

JackHammer325 · Jan 20, 2024, 5:01 PM

@sdetweil
just finished the install using cmd

made sure to install the fonts and vendor parts
as well as change the package.json file and then did run start.

but it still did the same thing as before.
