[sdetweil]

@goeasy do NOT install under MINGW64, just straight under windows

[goEasy]

@sdetweil Hey, thank you for the reply…

i am new to this MM and coding, at one point everything was working then i cant remember what happened.

i think is something to do with the Electron settings…

Opening with CMD

C:\Users\Cowplain\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.14.0 start
> ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Cowplain\MagicMirror>

Opening with Git Bash

Cowplain@DESKTOP-4IAPDRU MINGW64 ~/magicmirror (master)
$ npm start
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please help

@goeasy on windows, its support to say

node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

take off the ./

windows doesn’t use that

[goEasy]

@sdetweil how would i remove

./

? i looked in the MM folder and such thing doesn’t exist

[sdetweil]

@goeasy edit package.json and change the start line

@sdetweil not working after edit package.json , i try to start on Win CMD with npm start ( folder MagicMirror)

[sdetweil]

@airart what does it say?
show the text of the start line now

[airart]

@sdetweil i edit like this

"start": "node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

[airart]

@airart it say

“node_modules” non è riconosciuto come come comando interno …

[sdetweil]

@airart mine works like this

"start": "./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

[airart]

@sdetweil seems that in node_modules folder/.bin/ there’s not any electron.js

i’v also tried with cmd …

[sdetweil]

@airart did you do the npm install?
