      I researched a few of the modules I was using and found one step that needs to be on your list:
      ‘npm install request’

      Well, the modules that require that package should tell you in their respective readme files but thanks for the headsup. I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful. :-)

        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

            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?

                cheers, bdream

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