              @airart i don’t understand, I installed on windows 10 without trouble… but it was npm v6.

              I just installed and used npm 7.14…

              I had to use the full path to electron

              here is my package.json start line

              "start": "/Users/sdetw/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
              

              this is due to a change in npm… my prior instance will not start now without the full path

                this is because npm 7.14 is trying to launch from the MagicMirror folder instead of the module folder…

                    @airart yes,

                    npm install -g npm@6.14.0

                    after this completes

                    cd MagicMirror
                    rd /s/q node_modules
                    npm install
