is still asking for replace instead of request

what?

words not clear

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')

I did what you said but still get this error for some reason

sdetweil

@swvalenti ok, sometimes this is because of a typo in the config position for the module

Is there a way to make a desktop shortcut to start MagicMirror?

sdetweil

@DanClarkCBET3 sure. create a batch file

mm.cmd

in the installers folder, and then use that for the shortcut

mm.cmd should do

@npm start

My apologies if the answer to my question is located somewhere in this long thread. As a quick method of bringing some MM functionality to my kids in college, I’d like to install MM onto their laptops and have it autorun at start (like a batch file) and run in a small window.

I see that I can install it on their laptops and I know how to create a batch file, but what I don’t know is how to ensure that a linux program starts in a windows batch file and how to get it to autosize to a small window.

Has anyone done that?

sdetweil

@CheapDad use PM2 to auto launch

this is a node application

@sdetweil Don’t think it is an easy straight forward setup for PM2 on Windows to launch the mirror or am I mistaken? Would he have to setup pm2-windows-service and then perform some other setups to get PM2 to work to launch MM on Windows at startup?
