      Hello!
      I have issues updating my MagicMirror to the current version 2.28.0.

      When I run npm install I get this error message:

      mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo 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
      npm error engine Unsupported engine
      npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
      npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
      npm error notsup Required: {"node":">=20"}
      npm error notsup Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.1","node":"v18.17.1"}
      npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /root/.npm/_logs/2024-08-04T16_49_26_116Z-debug-0.log
      

      seems easy to solve, but I absolutely fail to bring my node to the required version.

      using nvm current I get this answer:

      mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ nvm current
      v20.16.0
      

      Edit: this is what happens if I try and install node via n:

      mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo n lts
        installing : node-v20.16.0
             mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/20.16.0
             fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.16.0/node-v20.16.0-linux-arm64.tar.xz
           copying : node/20.16.0
      /usr/bin/n: Zeile 746: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
         installed :  (with npm 10.8.1)
      

      so it should work… PLEASE help!

        @Ix ONE… NEVER EVER use sudo for MM commands, EVER…

        once you do that then you HAVE to use SUDO for a lot of things you don’t want to give root permissions

        note node and npm are not MM commands

        SO, you had to upgrade node and npm for this release BEFORE doing the upgrade
        see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18836/v2-28-0

        OR, you could have run the upgrade command from my scripts repo
        see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

        for node version, check (not what nvm thinks)
        node -v

        my scripts use the tool n, which is nvm written in javascript…

          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

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

                    show results of

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

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

                          > npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev
                          
                          npm error code EBADENGINE

                          npm error notsup Required: {"node":">=20"}
                          npm error notsup Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.2","node":"v18.18.0"}
                          npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/mirror/.npm/_logs/2024-08-04T20_08_34_045Z-debug-0.log
                          

                          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…

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

                            get back to whatever before…

                            then use n version_number

                            sudo n 20.9
                            verify that is correct node -v

                              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

                              well, now there’s another problem:

                              mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo n 20.9
                                   copying : node/20.9.0
                              /usr/bin/n: Zeile 746: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
                                 installed :  (with npm 10.1.0)
                              mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
                              -bash: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
                              

                              Sry for German: it’s “no such file or directory”

                              then try the npm run install-mm again

                                  okay done all that, node is completely gone from my machine. I guess, reinstalling it would be the next step?
