sorry guess i didn’t realize.
I’ve done that and it looks like it’s trying to start but then just goes back to this.

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js                 → sits here for about 8-10 seconds
                                                                                                                                                   then does that
                                                                                                                                                                   ↓
C:\MagicMirror>

@sdetweil
this is what i have in my package.json file. I removed the “.” like you recommended.

now i get “the system cannot find the path specified”

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> \node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\MagicMirror>

@sdetweil

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js


C:\MagicMirror>

@sdetweil
just finished the install using cmd

• made sure to install the fonts and vendor parts
• as well as change the package.json file and then did run start.

but it still did the same thing as before.

@sdetweil
alright I will try that and let you know of the outcome!

@sdetweil

PC@WST MINGW32 /c/magicmirror
$ npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js


PC@WST MINGW32 /c/magicmirror
$

@sdetweil
so i followed these instructions

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
"start:dev": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js dev",

and replace it with

"start": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
"start:dev": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js dev",

but it still goes back to
C:\magicmirror>
and does nothing.

@sdetweil
native windows with program Git Bash

@sdetweil
node -v = v18.16.0
npm -v = 9.5.1

yes, I did.
i even double checked .

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
cd MMM-CalendarExt3
npm install
git submodule update --init --recursive

i even ran the update just to be sure

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git pull
npm update

im currently on Node.js ver 18.16.0
running on windows 8.1

not entirely sure how to “show output of” that you are asking
