Cannot find module 'undici' - 'npm install' doesn't work

[Klinge]

Hi,

since today my MMM don´t start.

When I start it, I got the following error message

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ display=:0 npm start

> magicmirror@2.30.0 start
> npm run start:x11


> magicmirror@2.30.0 start:x11
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

When I try “npm install” I got the following

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install
npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.30.0

npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2025-01-02T08_02_32_005Z-debug-0.log

So I tried to update my npm with

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt remove node
sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs

but npm has still the version 10.8.2

So, what have I done wrong?

It would be really nice, if you have some advice for me.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
Klinge

@Klinge yes it says we need node 20.18.1 or above
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19271/version-2-30-0-requires-updated-nodejs-warning-for-pi0w-installations

anyhow quickest way
install tool to allow changing node versions

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20.18.1

now do the MagicMirror install

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm 

[sdetweil]

@Klinge also, next time use my upgrade script

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[Klinge]

@sdetweil Thank you for your help.

After updating to 20.18.1 unfortunately I get the following error

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pwd
/home/pi/MagicMirror
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run install-mm
node: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by node)

And yes, the next time I will use your upgrade script ;-)

[sdetweil]

@Klinge you are on buster os… you need to upgrade to a later version, as that library is not available on buster… my script would have told you that…

use my backup/restore scripts
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

to be able to quickly move to new OS

use install script to install MM on new os
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
and then restore to put back MM config and modules

(and upgrade script next time)

[Klinge]

@sdetweil Shit, that’s the same problem I had with my second mirror a few weeks ago. Well, it’s been running fine since 2016.
Many thanks for your tips. With your scripts I’ll quickly install the new one.

[sdetweil]

@Klinge if you had started w my script it would have told you so you didn’t have to upgrade NOW . sorry

the whole objective of my scripts is to prevent this exact scenario. broke system.

[Klinge]

@sdetweil Yes, you’re absolutely right, of course. Sometimes you have to learn from your own mistakes ;-) so we just call it a Layer8 problem ;-) Thanks anyway for your effort

[Klinge]

Hi,
@sdetweil some minutes ago I updated my MMM with your script

kling@raspi-mm-gaeste:~/MagicMirror $ bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply
update log will be in /home/kling/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

After that I tried to start my MMM and now I got the same error message "Cannot find module ‘undici’.

So my question again, what did I wrong? It is necessary to install the MMM completely new?

Thank you.

Kind regards.

@Klinge you tried to do it manually , my script will NOT upgrade OVER the same version accidentally

local version 2.30.0 already same as master 2.30.0

so you have to FORCE it

change the update command string end from
apply
to
force
