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?
-
Thanks for a great guide, got me up and running quickly. Can you guide me where do I insert the commands to rotate the display to portrait mode?
-
@Mykle1 Many thanks for this description!
Just got it run under Windows 7. That will help to play and learn how to get own modules :nerd_face:
Two questions I have.
My MM is version 2.6.0. I planned to run updatescript from @sdetweil but failed. Yahe you any idea?Is there an option to run MM in a window being able to shrink and move over the desktop?

Your F11 key should toggle between full screen MM and MM in a window
