@aaronaxvig there is already a solution for it chckout option removeStartTags and startTags

As I wrote about some here, it seems that the update checker has a Git dependency. (I haven’t looked at the code that carefully, please forgive me if that assumption is wrong.)

Normally this would not be a problem if you follow the install directions directly as they specify running a git clone command so naturally you must have Git. But I did it using the GitHub Desktop option, and someone could certainly use the Download As ZIP option from GitHub.com too.

I don’t really care too much since they program still runs and I have figured out how to get rid of the exception that it causes. But I thought I might pose two questions:

Should there be a note in the manual install instructions that Git on your path is a requirement? Should there be a Git dependency in the first place for checking for updates?

@aaronaxvig To run MagicMirror automatically on startup:

Create a .bat file and put it in the startup folder (Windows Explorer > type “shell:startup” without quotes in the address bar). Set the contents of the bat file:

cd your MagicMirror Git repository folder
npm start
