Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0

Ix

first: thanks for answering so fast!

node -v gives this:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v20.16.0

this is also the version I installed via n
nevertheless, the wrong version is recognized when trying npm i

sdetweil

@Ix how about npm -v

Ix

@sdetweil

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
10.8.1

sdetweil

@Ix ok, can u give the output of

npm run install-mm

now

ok, it thinks you are running npm as root… probably cause of some sudo somwhere…

show results of

whoami
cd ~/MagicMirror
ls -laF

@sdetweil
whoami

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ whoami

@Ix said in Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0:

drwxr-xr-x 414 root root 28672 3. Apr 17:16 node_modules/

my only guess

SO, lets try

cd ~/MagicMirror
# using sudo here only to remove the root owned folder
sudo rm -rf node_modules
npm run install-mm

Ix

@sdetweil

I deleted node_modules directory as recommended and after that, this is what happened:

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run install-mm

> magicmirror@2.28.0 install-mm
> npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev

npm error code EBADENGINE

Now it says it’s running on node v18.18.0 instead of v18.17.1 but still not v20.16 which is installed. I don’t get it at all…

sdetweil

@Ix wild… never seen this.

SO, i would use nvm and n to remove all the added node versions…

get back to whatever before…
exit the shell window and open again

verify still on the prior nodejs

then use n version_number

sudo n 20.9
verify that is correct node -v
the close shell and open again,
verify node

then try the npm run install-mm again
