When I do npm install I get this:

npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.33.0
npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.33.0

Ok, so I just tried that (from the MagicMirror folder) but it gives me this now:

magicmirror@2.33.0 start:windows
.\node_modules.bin\electron js\electron.js

The system cannot find the path specified.

Do I need to reinstall MM2?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I just ran the upgrade script to upgrade my install from 2.29 to 2.33, and now nothing loads at all.

I ran the script, then rebooted, then tried npm start from MagicMirror folder and this is all it shows:

magicmirror@2.33.0 start
node --run start:x11

node: bad option: --run

I have since tried doing a git reset --hard and a git pull, but it just says that I am already running 2.33.
I have MagicMirror running on Windows10.

I’d appreciate any suggestions to get it running again.

Sorry for the super long delay in replying to this post. Shortly after I posted, my wife passed way suddenly. I had to put my Magic Mirror project on hold while I dealt with everything.

I finally got back to the project and I decided to start fresh, reinstalled Windows 10, reinstalled Magic Mirror, and it is working now. Not sure what the issue was, but a reinstall seemed to fix it. I have had a few configuration changes to make/issues to fix, but I figured them out thanks to various posts here in this forum, and just trying different things until it worked.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

OK, so I rebooted (should have tried that before), and that error is gone, but now I get an error that keeps repeating 30 times:

I do get a MagicMirror window, but it is completely blank. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,

I am attempting to install MagicMirror on Windows 10. I have followed the steps in the Complete Walkthrough found on this forum. Nodejs installed fine, as well as Git for Windows. I installed MagicMirror via git clone, installed the dependencies, installed the fonts and vendor directories, changed the package.json file, and renamed the sample config file to config.js.

But, when I try to run MM either from Git bash or from Windows CMD, I get the same errors listed below.

Is there something I need to update on the config.js file or am I missing something? Thanks for any assistance.
