@sdetweil it works ! I am so moved, evidently that was the problem.
Does CMD remain active how do I leave the MM? fn + f11 reduces to window
I also noticed some warnings -
@airart ctrl-c in ther terminal window will stop the active program
ignore warnings
-
Thanks for the tutorial, i’m running magicmirror on a surface pro 4,
The installation worked perfectly but when i tried to run npm start it throw an error “> DISPLAY=”${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js"
To bypass the error i edited the package.json by removing the DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0} at the begining, tried npm start and it worked.
I’m not sure for what is that display option.

@matefits71 on Linux, the xwindows graphical system writes to a numbered ‘display’ , and there can be multiple.
windows doesn’t have that. which is why I’ve written to remove that part, and also run the manual npm install in vendors and go ta folders

Hi, newby here… I have reinstaled MM in my win 10 laptop… It was working well until the reinstallation…
I am having an issue, i will try to translate it, cuz my cmd is in spanish…magicmirror@2.17.1 start
node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js“node_modules” doesn’t recognize it as an internal or external command,
program or file by executable lot.At the same time i have notice, that “.bin” folder doesn’t contain “electron js” folder inside…
I have had to install manually npm for fonts ans vendor’s folders…
Please, help me Obi Wan Kenobi…

@killk You have asked the same question in different posts a few times. This can be seen as spamming,
-
@mumblebaj oh sorry, i have to delete the other one… I didn’t know it.
-
@killk we are all volunteers here. more folks around in the evenings, weekends. but it’s all volunteer. no commitment to answer any question or solve any problem . asking in multiple places doesn’t get help any faster.
-
@killk I had no problem
Win 10, under Vmware
git clone
npm install
and in vendors and fonts
edit the package.json
copy the default config.js from the samplenpm start

@mykle1 how can i resolve this ?
‘DISPLAY’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. -
-
