nothing to do, it doesn’t seem to find the electron file and folders
-
@airart i don’t understand, I installed on windows 10 without trouble… but it was npm v6.
I just installed and used npm 7.14…
I had to use the full path to electron
here is my package.json start line
"start": "/Users/sdetw/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",this is due to a change in npm… my prior instance will not start now without the full path
-
this is because npm 7.14 is trying to launch from the MagicMirror folder instead of the module folder…
-
@sdetweil can i install npm v6 ?
-
@airart yes,
npm install -g npm@6.14.0
after this completes
cd MagicMirror rd /s/q node_modules npm install -
@sdetweil in which folder it should be installed
-
@airart -g means global
