Just to be sure… You do have a folder named exampleImages within you MMM-BackgroundSlideshow directory???
I just installed and ran this module on my Windows device and it works just fine.
Looking at the error you posted above, it looks as if your exampeImages folder is missing.
-
I can confirm that the folder is there
Modules were installed using git clone command while in the MagicMirror/modules folder.
Is there anything different you have to do when installing modules under a windows system
Currently I’m just doing the above command and then adding the required code to the config file
-
Not that I can think of
I’m not using a RasPi either.
If I had one, I would try it to se if any difference.Sorry.

@jelbear - To my knowledge, the only difference between Windows and Linux systems is that you may have to specify the file paths slightly differently. Windows requires you to put any folder with a space in the name in quotes. This can get tricky when you’re passing in a string which is surrounded by quotes and also contains quotes.
Is there a space in any part of your path to the exampleImages folder?

it somehow seems to have resolved itself
i deleted the folder and redid the git clone and it is working, not sure what happened, but it is working now,

Install MagicMirror on a PC Windows 7/10 - Complete walkthrough
Thank you so much for this post! I’m new to the Pi and MagicMirror. Working on the PI remotely was a bit of pain and this allowed me to run MagicMirror on my main machine with VMWare Workstation.
First off let me say these instructions were ‘spot-on’ and I was up and running immediately.
As I added modules, I noticed some of them were not working, a.k.a. not loading any data. They would activate, say “loading…” and nothing else.
I researched a few of the modules I was using and found one step that needs to be on your list:
‘npm install request’
After that, the modules in question began updating with data.
Thank you again for giving me a better dev environment to work in!

Hello, I had an EACCESS error thrown when launching the MM as directed in this thread. I was able to fix this error by changing the port number from 8080 to 9000 in config.js
-
@dstoianovici yes,if some other app is using 8080 then u have to change it… mine is on 8086. 8080-8085 are in use
-
It should probably be easy, but I can’t seem to find it. What is the command I can use to start MM on Windows 10 startup?
-
Thanks for a great guide, got me up and running quickly. Can you guide me where do I insert the commands to rotate the display to portrait mode?
-
@Mykle1 Many thanks for this description!
Just got it run under Windows 7. That will help to play and learn how to get own modules :nerd_face:
Two questions I have.
My MM is version 2.6.0. I planned to run updatescript from @sdetweil but failed. Yahe you any idea?Is there an option to run MM in a window being able to shrink and move over the desktop?

Your F11 key should toggle between full screen MM and MM in a window

Damn Sam, you’re just too fast!

For me setup running MagicMirror on Windows 10 worked by:
- cloning the repository
- then edit package.json by changing following line:
"scripts": { "start": "./run-start.sh",to:
"scripts": { "start": "bash ./run-start.sh",Simple change, works in every location on my PC.
