npm should give something like this:

I would make sure that your installation was correct. And perhaps a restart if you're on Windows.

Going to close this issue as it's not a bug in the program, but rather user error (not intended to be harsh). Please feel free to continue the communication as I will try to help!
jef

Ok, thank you for your help!
ViperRegained

You're welcome, did you get it working on your end?
jef
on 2 Nov 2020
No sadly, im not sure whats causing it. I just didnt want to bother you.
ViperRegained
on 2 Nov 2020
It's okay. Continue to ask. I get to these questions as best I can, but it also allows others to help! I'm actually going to open back up for visibility so others can comment.
jef
on 2 Nov 2020
Oh ok. Thank you! Im just trying to think of whats causing the issue. Ill try to re install everything again from scratch.
ViperRegained
on 2 Nov 2020
Sounds good! Unfortunately I'm not well versed in Windows side of things, only use it to play games mostly. Let me know if it ends up working. Otherwise, we could try to figure out what's going on.
jef
on 2 Nov 2020
Yeah still the same issue, even after installing it freshly. I followed the instructions on the page. Do I have to make some sort of bat file that will load something up?

Looks like you're not in the right folder. Make sure you run the npm i and npm run start inside the nvidia-snatcher folder.
jef

Thank you! I think that might be the issue. Sorry to be a pest but how do i do it inside the folder? Thanks!
ViperRegained
on 2 Nov 2020
No worries!
What you wanna do is CD into it.
Some basic instructions are found here: https://github.com/jef/nvidia-snatcher/wiki/Installation:-Windows
jef

Thank you! Its working now. Only one question. I have it started and its only searching the nvidia store. I renamed the .env-example file and re named to to config.env and I have listed the stores like this: STORES="amazon,asus,bandh,bestbuy,evga,microcenter,newegg,nvidia,officedepot,zotac"
Have I done something wrong? Thank you!
Edit; I renamed it to just .env using command prompt and still no change.

Make sure the .env file is file type ENV vs TXT.
jef
on 3 Nov 2020
It says its an env file, ill send a picture.
ViperRegained
on 3 Nov 2020
Thank you so much for your help by the way, I know im being a pest.
ViperRegained
on 3 Nov 2020
No problem! Really. This is be good to pin after we're done solving.
Can you post your whole .env? Redacted any personal information.

I deleted the other things that I wasnt using. That didnt seem to be the issue before though.
ViperRegained

Overall, it looks pretty good. One thing I would suggest is getting the id for the DISCORD_NOTIFY_GROUP, but that's outside of your problem.
Oh thing I would do is get your user agent.
Next thing I would do is copy this .env, back it up on your desktop or something, then use something like this:
STORES=amazon,bestbuy,zotac
USER_AGENT=your results from above
and see if you get more than nvidia.

Thank you! I think I figured out what happened, For people in the future what happened was that my brain was turned off and I was saving the .env file in the wrong place. I had to go to the nvidia-snatcher file inside of the current nvidia snatcher file I was already in. Here is a picture so you can see what file to get to:
Edit; This happened to me because I was an idiot and saved the snatcher file inside the currently existing snatcher files.
