Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10

@Mykle1 I’ve got 4 of them currently staring at me and I’ve only got 2 eyes. Seems like overkill to me. Actually, I’m testing the Ubuntu and MacMini MM2s that will, eventually, replace the two MM2s based on RPi.
-
Excellent! I’m a bit of a nut about MM. I install it anywhere I can, along with ubuntu. 99% are laptops that I have, get, find or buy for a song on craigslist. I just like doing that and writing simple modules. Glad you’re enjoying yourself too> :-)
-
@Mykle1 Yeah, I get it. There’s so much I don’t know about what the MM can do and it appears I’m going to have extra time to learn while I “stay at home” in coming weeks/months. Watching your “Hello Lucy” video has encouraged me to dig into the MM documentation more.
-
Cool. I found MM about 3 years ago. No coding experience at all. Captivated by both now. Made some friends. Trying to learn every day. :-)

I’ve installed MM2 on a new RCA Cambio. This little, cheap ($75) Windows 10 laptop (with a detachable screen that turns into a tablet) is meant to be an information MM2 in the kitchen. I got it up and running fine (following steps provided here), but I’d like to be able to run it remotely (e.g. when just the tablet is sitting in the kitchen). I can SSH to it using Git Bash and I see the start.sh script steps completing, but nothing ever happens on the tablet’s screen. It stays on the Windows 10 desktop. It starts fine using its own keyboard. I’m just wondering where I should look for a solution to this problem. Any ideas??? Thanks!

@dwburger the start script on windows needs to be changed
in package.json
change this"scripts": { "start": "./run-start",to this
"scripts": { "start": "node_modules/.bin/electron", -
@sdetweil Yes…I did that. You helped me with it last week.
-
@dwburger but u got me wondering about the words…
Windows 10
runs fine
run it remotely
ssh/ git bash -
@sdetweil If u want to SEE/view it on the tablet (which might have a browser)
in the base system config.js
address:"0.0.0.0", ipWhitelist:[]then open the tablet browser to the ip of the base and port
http://ip_address:8080
