mmm-awesome-alexa on Raspberry PI

[Senathon]

Sorry if this post got duplicated…

I am setting up a fresh Raspberry PI 4 with the 32-bit OS (Bulls Eye). I installed the Magic Mirror 2 with the standard installation and it works fine.

Now when I do the mmm-awesome-alexa from the directions on https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation, I get the following issues when running npm run config-helper

Error: Cannot find module ‘clear’
Require stack:

  }

I have done the research for the last week and rebuilds of the same system about 3 times incase of corruption but I still get the same issues. Any ideas?

Is this package still supported? If not, what package are you using for your magic mirror for voice control? I am using a USB Mic and 3.5 Speaker jack.

@Senathon npm install clear
in the module folder

@Senathon supported? not by the mm team ( this forum)

and it looks like the author hasn’t updated in quite a while.

I made a script out of the install steps.
download from here,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/omrx3vztjp738hf/do-install.sh?dl=0

mark executable and execute it. does everything.
git clone on…

After running NPM install for Clear, Figlet, and Inquirer and running the script (from sdetweil), I get the following error:

mmm-awesome-alexa@1.0.0 config-helper

@Senathon weird. my system is down for some reason, will check when I get it running again…

just a simple reboot,and it doesn’t come back. grrrr

[sdetweil]

@Senathon i did so test install checks and after fixing a couple things, it hears the request, but can’t send it…

my service on another platform works… so something is wrong with this module… but it hasn’t been maintained in years. .
