If you'd rather build your config.js file on your desktop rather than on raspberry Pi, then the following instructions should enable you to achieve your goals:
1. Make sure you have a recent Node installation (I'm using NVM to install Node v10.16.3)
2. Clone the repository and check out the master branch: git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
3. Enter the repository: cd MagicMirror/
4. Install and run the app with: npm install && npm start
This should give you a running (but not configured) full screen magic mirror!
To configure it;
1. Follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#general)
2. I wanted to develop a portrait mode 1080P screen (on a laptop screen that isn't 1920px high!) so I had the following settings in my config.js
```json
electronOptions:{
fullscreen: false,
width:540,
height:810
},
zoom: 0.5,
```
Then launch your desktop MagicMirror with;
1. npm start dev
Installing modules is the same as if you were on raspberry Pi, but I can imagine there are some that will require being on an rPi in order to successfully install and run!
