            Followed your guide to install on my windows 10 - 64 bit machine.
            Installation went OK, but when I start mirror I just get a black screen.

            This is the error message

            Launching application.
            Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
            { Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080
                at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
                at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1046:20)
                at Server.setupListenHandle [as _listen2] (net.js:1351:14)
                at listenInCluster (net.js:1392:12)
                at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.doListen [as callback] (net.js:1501:7)
                at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:97:10)
              code: 'EADDRINUSE',
              errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
              syscall: 'listen',
              address: '127.0.0.1',
              port: 8080 }
            MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
            
            
            

            Hope you can help me out.

              @johans said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

              at _exceptionWithHostPort

              This typically means that another application or program is using the port (8080) that MagicMirror uses. You would have to resolve that issue

                Thanks for the info, can’t find out who is using port 8080, but I changed in the config to use another port.
                Now all is working. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

                    @mykle1 FYI
                    Meanwhile I found the problem of port 8080, due to some malware on that PC, the proxi settings where modified, only option was to re-install OS. Lucky I had some backup so that didn’t took so long.
                    Now proxi settings are no longer hi-jacked and I can run MM normally.
                    Problem solved!

                      Ahh, Windows. I no longer use it for MM. I’m strictly a ubuntu 16.04 LTS guy now.
