@Klaleu said in MMM-Navigate cannot be installed:

postinstall: line 8: …/…/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild: Permission denied

hm…

have you ever used sudo for any npm command for MagicMirror? please don’t

can you do this and show results

cd ~/MagicMirror 
ls -laF node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Klaleu

Hello Sam,
Thank you for your suggestion to solve the problem. I deleted the old installation of MMM-Navigate by deleting the MMM-Navigate folder in the /MagicMirror/modules/. I then carried out electron-rebuild, unfortunately the following reinstallation of MMM-Navigate resulted in the same errors . Here is a section of my screen.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I can try to get an error-free installation?

@Klaleu but the problem is outside the mmm-navigate folder

please provide the information i asked for

Klaleu

Hello Sam,
I forgot to answer the question. Your question was: Have you ever used sudo for any npm command for MagicMirror? As far as I can remember, I ran the following commands: and <sudo npm install -g pm2>. If that is the problem, how can I solve it to be able to install MMM-Navigate.
PS I installed over ten modules for my Magic Mirror and none of them had any problems.

sdetweil

@Klaleu I asked you to do

ls -laF ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Klaleu

Hello Sam,
Yes, I did it. For the result please see the LOG file in my answer of Jun 13, 2024, 4:41 PM.
I hope I followed your instructions correctly.
Thank you for your efforts.

@Klaleu log file where?

Klaleu

I mean this excerpt from the LOG_file (see my answer of Jun 13, 2024, 4:41 PM):

You can see I did “electron-rebuild” and after that I tried to install MMM-Navigate without any success.
I you need the hole LOG-File, or is the excerpt sufficient?

@Klaleu I need you to execute the command I listed, now
and show it’s results

I need to determine what the permission problem is exactly before I can tell you how to resolve it

Klaleu

Hello Sam,
You wrote: " I need you to execute the command I listed, now and show it’s results"
Now I’m a little bit confused. I executed severel commands you asked my for and dokumented the results.
Please write to me exactly what I need to do to provide you with the information to isolate the problem. Unfortunately, I’m just a layman and can’t get any further in this case on my own and need help from experienced programmers.
Thank you.
Klaus
