I can confirm that the folder is there
Modules were installed using git clone command while in the MagicMirror/modules folder.
Is there anything different you have to do when installing modules under a windows system
Currently I’m just doing the above command and then adding the required code to the config file
-
Not that I can think of
I’m not using a RasPi either.
If I had one, I would try it to se if any difference.Sorry.

@jelbear - To my knowledge, the only difference between Windows and Linux systems is that you may have to specify the file paths slightly differently. Windows requires you to put any folder with a space in the name in quotes. This can get tricky when you’re passing in a string which is surrounded by quotes and also contains quotes.
Is there a space in any part of your path to the exampleImages folder?

This post is deleted! -
it somehow seems to have resolved itself
i deleted the folder and redid the git clone and it is working, not sure what happened, but it is working now,
many thanks for taking the time to reply

Install MagicMirror on a PC Windows 7/10 - Complete walkthrough
Thank you so much for this post! I’m new to the Pi and MagicMirror. Working on the PI remotely was a bit of pain and this allowed me to run MagicMirror on my main machine with VMWare Workstation.
First off let me say these instructions were ‘spot-on’ and I was up and running immediately.
As I added modules, I noticed some of them were not working, a.k.a. not loading any data. They would activate, say “loading…” and nothing else.
I researched a few of the modules I was using and found one step that needs to be on your list:
‘npm install request’
After that, the modules in question began updating with data.
Thank you again for giving me a better dev environment to work in!

Hello, I had an EACCESS error thrown when launching the MM as directed in this thread. I was able to fix this error by changing the port number from 8080 to 9000 in config.js
-
@dstoianovici yes,if some other app is using 8080 then u have to change it… mine is on 8086. 8080-8085 are in use
-
It should probably be easy, but I can’t seem to find it. What is the command I can use to start MM on Windows 10 startup?
