@dude31222 I don’t know. those are so far out of service…

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 foundon npm start, doesn’t start up MM.
-
@Reila you did not do the package.json edit correctly.
windows uses slashes leaning left
and u need 2 in each place
node-modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js -
@sdetweil
Oh, I just copied as it was! It might have been a different guide, it was old after all… I see the backward slashes in a later post now.So now I tried
"start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",(with both the double and single space, just in case) and it’s giving me the same error still.
I tested changing the start-dev variant too.
I must be missing another step still. -
@Reila I am away from my system at the moment be back in an hour or so.
what does npm -v say?
-
@sdetweil No problem! Browser version works fine for tinkering in the meantime :)
npm is 8.17.0
-
@Reila hm… this is what mine is set to
"start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",and I don’t get any errors, but electron starts full screen, black screen
but if I open edge and go to localhost:8080 it looks great and if I open electron
(the 1st part, node_modules\.bin\electron) and go to http://localhost:8080
it works… -
