    @sdetweil I was looking for a solution prior to coming to this forum and following someone else’s answer to there own issue that I thought would work for me, but got me no where. they said to change to node 18 from here: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions

    Download and import the Nodesource GPG key
    

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
    sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
    curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

    Create deb repository
    

    NODE_MAJOR=20
    echo “deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

    Optional: NODE_MAJOR can be changed depending on the version you need.

    NODE_MAJOR=16
    NODE_MAJOR=18
    NODE_MAJOR=20
    NODE_MAJOR=21

    Run Update and Install
    

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

    Did this screw me up?

      @lvolkjr said in Error trying to run: npm run install-mm:

      Did this screw me up?

      maybe…

      try this

      sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y
      

      then do
      node -v

        @sdetweil I didn’t see any errors after running sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y
        When I run node -v I get this:
        bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory

          @lvolkjr ok, do

          ls /usr/bin/node

          should return file not found
          do
          hash -r
          node -v

          just to make sure…
          then run my install or upgrade script as appropriate…

            @sdetweil This is what I got:
            lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /usr/bin/node
            ls: cannot access ‘/usr/bin/node’: No such file or directory
            lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ hash -r
            lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
            bash: node: command not found

            Do you still want me to run your script? I feel like node -v should have given me a different output, like the version number.

              @lvolkjr I expected something too

              I’d rebuild the SD card, boot, skip updates

              then use my script. this node install is such a mess, they changed the process…ugh

                @sdetweil Yea, I figured. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully I could repay you in the future. I’ll keep you updated to what happens.

                  @sdetweil Thanks!!! That worked! I’m running MagicMirror and getting ready to customize it. I should have started over a long time ago.
