Windows installation throws error #42

Closed MichlF closed 2 years ago

MichlF commented 2 years ago

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",
