Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10

jagdambasoft

@jagdambasoft as above i post an error
Now in package.json change a line under scripts

    "start": "./run-start.sh",
to
    "start": "run-start.sh",

I’m using Windows 10 and got the previous message as well. Changing to “run-start.sh” just opens the file with my text editor. I’m missing something.

Does this require Adminstrator login…I am not logged in as administrator

@aab142 windows … ugh… the script needs access to bash but doesn’t understand ./

so remove the ./

I’ve started this installation process from 3 years ago on an old Acer laptop running Windows 10. It’s installing MM2 right now. Just wondering…have the walkthrough steps/commands changed in the intervening 3 years in any way that I need to know? I scanned the 85 posts and didn’t see any, but I could have missed it/them. Thanks! And, I’m really glad this topic is still alive!

@aab142 u need to change the startstring to

"start":"node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js"

@sdetweil Perfect timing…thanks! I was trying “npm start” and “npm serveronly” with no luck. I’ll give it a go.

Just for clarity, I enter (without starting/ending quotes), npm “start”:“node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”???

@dwburger you have to change the “start”: line in package.json to the text I provided
