@vandam3b said in Installation Error:

npm error notsup Required: {“node”:“>=20.9.0 <21 || 22”}
npm error notsup Actual: {“npm”:“10.9.0”,“node”:“v23.2.0”}

yes, we support Node 20.9+ and node 22… not node 21
the doc says check the release notes for the official versions

next release will support node 23

you can hack it… edit the package.json and change the engines from || 22 to || 23

maybe it will run ok… did for me during some tests

if you had used the automated install, it would have installed node 20.9

@sdetweil Thank you for getting back to me. I will delete MM folder and do automated install. Where would I find those directions? Thank you

[sdetweil]

@vandam3b you have to start over with a new sd card flash
the (my) scripts don’t uninstall an existing node, just install or upgrade a downlevel

the doc links to my scripts… 1st alternative
anyhow see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

the documentation is linked above in the header

[vandam3b]

@sdetweil I will do that. Thank you very much.
