nodejs 22.18.0 ??

Assassins

But how can i install 22.18.0 on a fresh install without all the script.
Why does it have to be so much hassle to install MM today, in the past it was MUCH easier to install.

@Assassins which OS? trixie 32 bit is a mess… stay with bookworm

my script does the job. from the start (not on trixie)

I have tested on pi3 (32) and pi5 (64) and VM (64 bit)

trixie changes the way swap space increase is done and requires a reboot to change (dumb)
so, it runs REALLLLLLLLLLY slow… in small memory systems… PI-02w

@Assassins you can also install nvm, which is a bash version of node installation

@Assassins well the good news is we are keeping the MagicMirror core dependencies up to date, but that is the bad news too… change brings churn….

You can try this

Before check if you have a version installed yet

node -v

If yes uninstall it

For install node.js 22 MAJOR

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs

At least check if you have the good version with node -v
