      @Mykle1 Thanks for your help on the DISPLAY issue. I changed the line in packages.json file to:

      “start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

      I get the following error message back:

      > magicmirror@2.20.0 start
      > node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js
      
      'node_modules' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
      operable program or batch file.

              @dude31222 never tried win7 myself… this topic was created a while ago…

              you can TRY setting an environment variable in the cmd.exe window before executing npm start

              cd MagicMirror
              set ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
              npm start

                  @dude31222 that usually means u didn’t do the fonts install step or vendor install step

                  those are extra for windows install

                        Heyo!
                        I’ve done a fresh install of MM2 (on Win10), and now I’m struggling with the blank electron screen.

                        I did the vendor and font install, changed the package.json to

                        "start":"node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
                        

                        according to the guide on page 15, and now I’m getting

                        bash: line 1: node_modules.binelectron: command not found
                        

                        on npm start, doesn’t start up MM.
