upgrade to new NPM version?
-
Hi there,
thank you all very much for looking after the MM and keeping it alive and developing it further.
The update to version 2.21.0 was successful, no problems, everything is fine! :thumbs_up:
I only have one question: I got a hint saying that there is a new NPM version. Can I stay on my current version 6.14.12 or should I upgrade to 8.19.2?
Thank you very much!
May the code be with you

@kai don’t worry about that … we do not depend on NPM v8
-
@sdetweil cool, thanks a lot!
-
Since 6.14.12 there have been a lot of bug fixes, so an upgrade is recommended. And MM works fine with 8.19.2.
-
@KristjanESPERANTO if they are running fine, no reason to upgrade. when a new mm release comes that needs a new node or npm, then my script will upgrade that too
-
@sdetweil how to update npm version?my MM is on the last version, but my raspian already has a better version of npm than my Magic mirror, but my MM doesnt see that.
-
@eltonnascimento sudo npm i npm@version-numnumber
note that I may have to npm install in every module folder that has a package.json and the base
I would ignore the message.
my upgrade script will be upgraded to install npm 8 on the next release (jan, 1)
-
@sdetweil I ran the command sudo npm i npm@8.19 inside the /MagicMirror folder, but it didn’t update the npm version. then I ran the command npm install inside MMM-Tools, without success.
do you have any other tips?
-
@eltonnascimento but it did. npm is 8 now
-
@sdetweil but the MM-Tools module, indicates that npm is v6.14.12…as in the first picture above. I already did the npm install inside the MMM-Tools directory as well.
