./node_modules

yes, you cannot have the ./ in front… windows doesn’t understand that …

read the instructions again

now I get this error…will never update again lesson learned

openweather forecast still doesn’t work no error in console

sorry, no idea there

sam whatever you told me to not which step I got it all working. Only issue now is two modules are not centered correctly even when using top_center…how or if you can use css for that?

@sdetweil said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

@swvalenti no,. read the 1st post of the link I posted for black screen

ok we are getting somewhere pga now works, openweather forecast still doesn’t work no error in console

@sdetweil said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

@swvalenti the module is missing ‘request’

npm install request in the MM folder?

@sdetweil said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

@swvalenti I just install the module on my Windows MM 2.18 instance without trouble…

it was missing a library , per the back screen link… once I fixed that the module came up without issues

Well doesn’t surprise me there! HA thanks for all your work nonetheless

@sdetweil said in Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10:

@swvalenti mmm-pga… looks like you didn’t complete the MM install process on windows

I followed the complete walkthrough but I can’t diagnose what I did wrong if you say that I did. Sorry to be a bother Sam

@sdetweil as an example MMM-PGA shows this in dev
