Script seems to be failing

ankonaskiff17

I am setting up a new MM and using Sam’s alternative install method. I have done this several times with no issues.
I copied the script as instructed, executed it. It runs for a bit but then I get the following failure message.
This is being done via Pi Connect.
Here are the lines I get.

Installing helper tools ...
nvm_command is sudo n v22.18.0
installing correct version of node and npm, please wait
tar: bin: Directory renamed before its status could be extracted
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Error: failed to extract archive for 22.18.0
node failed to install, exiting

@ankonaskiff17 said in Script seems to be failing:

all the search lists that error as mostly occurring on docker…and a known file system error
is this a docker container??

@sdetweil This is not a Docker install.

I would note that I had a very difficult time with installing Pi OS even before I got to the point of using your alternative MM install script.
I tried to run the script again just a few minutes before this reply with the same result. The log file should be on its way to you via your address.

I am going to run through the Pi OS install then follow right behind with a fresh attempt at MM install.
The folks who manage the Pi OS just upgraded the Imager tool last week.
Coincidentally I did two separate Pi OS installs in last couple of weeks. One was before the Imager was upgraded, and one after the Imager upgrade.

Had no issues with the Pi OS install via the older Imager tool. After the upgrade I had nothing but trouble. My low level of programming knowledge tells me that the problem is with the Pi OS image , not the imager tool but either way, it may be that the failure to install the MM is being caused by whatever is causing me trouble with Pi OS setup.

I want to see what happens start to finish.

@ankonaskiff17 thanks… got the log, it shows installing the right nodejs version,
BUT the check returns the old… SO…
I didn’t see what pi this was on? 4/5?
