MMM-ImagesPhotos issue

sdetweil

@Nneuland ok, fun stuff…

the module is so old that the development dependencies no longer exist…

so

edit the package.json

and change this

  "devDependencies": {

to this.

  "devDependencies1": {

the rerun npm install

another stupid thing, npm gives you the option to NOT install the dev stuff. --omit=dev, BUT it still checks them and fails if they don’t work…

so, we have to force them to not exist…

@sdetweil
thanks Sam. after adjusting the devDependencies in package.json then running npm install seemed to correct the install.

I have auto start mirror enabled when making adjustments to config file. However after adding the config info for this module, the mirror wont start. maybe too old of a module…any suggestions on a better image viewer module?

@Nneuland did u fix the missing library problem??? which is why MM doesn’t start???

Nneuland

@sdetweil

Thank you Sam!!

@Nneuland are you back up and running?

Nneuland

@sdetweil
After following your basic instructions I’m still having the issue.

To clarify, after adding the modules config information, the mirror wont start up… removing the config information and saving auto starts the mirror.

sdetweil

@Nneuland correct, did you add the missing library request??

the link says,

read the messages output by MM at startup (which you showed above)
find the not found message, which has the library name in it

use the library name in an

npm install  library_name_here

command while the current folder is the module folder

I am trying to teach you how to resolve this on your own next time… vs just giving u the answer, and having to do that over and over
