[kithaam]

@sdetweil Hi Please see this error

[sdetweil]

@kithaam follow ALL the instructions…

[kithaam]

@sdetweil !hi im getting the same errors

[sdetweil]

@kithaam it doesn’t say “npm start” in the vendor or font folders

[airart]

@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?

[airart]

@sdetweil yes i do

[sdetweil]

@airart what version of node and npm are installed

npm -v
node -v

[airart]

@sdetweil npm 7.14.0 , node 14.17.0

[sdetweil]

@airart interesting

ok, lets try to start over that step

cd MagicMirror
del package-lock.json
rd /q/s  node_modules

npm install  only=prod

we will want the name of the log file when it finishes in case

[airart]

@sdetweil only the name ?
