@sdetweil - thanks for the info. now it is working fine .

[Johans]

I got MM working under Win10 and most of the apps are working.

but in the end I prefere more the linux, so I installed debian, git, nodejs, and MM.
When to start the MM i get following message

Although I updated the package.json file and corrected accoring the instructions, I still get an error message.

What else is missing?

@johans

because u posted screenshots and not text I can’t show more

what node/npm versions did u install ??

npm -v
node -v

Do you want the content of the package.json file?

I also installed MM on Ubuntu V20.4 and I have exactly the same message as I get on Debian.

[sdetweil]

@Johans is it the same node and npm?

we havent tested on node 17.

only node 14 and 16

[Johans]

@sdetweil On Ubuntu I used node 16.14.2 and npm 8.5.5 while on Debian I used node 17.7.2 and npm 8.5.2. And both seems to give me the same error message
