Windows installation throws error
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I tried to install MM following the documentation on how to install on Windows (including the special steps with respect to Windows installations that all ran fine no matter whether I executed them before or after the error). However when running npm install
inside the MagicMirror folder, tan error is thrown repeatedly at the same stage:
> magicmirror@2.18.0 prepare
> [ -f node_modules/.bin/husky ] && husky install || echo no husky installed.
Der Befehl "[" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
no husky installed.
The error message losely translates to "The command "[" is either spelled incorrectly or could not be found."
Following this error I am getting an oddly reassuring... :
up to date, audited 757 packages in 2s
66 packages are looking for funding
run `npm fund` for details
found 0 vulnerabilities
... but magic mirror won't start:
C:\MM\MagicMirror>npm run start
> magicmirror@2.18.0 start
> node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js
Der Befehl "node_modules" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
I am running node.js 16.13.1 and npm version 8.1.2 on Windows 10 latest version.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks for any hint!
my stuff doesn't work on windows
have to do manual install and the extra steps.
oh, I see they have screwed up the extra steps too!! ( husky)
u have to install mode and npm before MagicMirror.
u will have to open an issue on the MagicMirror GitHub page. I don't have any control over that
fixed by changing package.json start line like this
"start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
