      I’m not sure what happened but it seems that npm and node are no longer set up on my RPi. The MM seems to run fine but updating (npm install) modules returns “-bash: npm:” command not found".

      I did “node -v” and got the same error (only “node” instead of “npm”).

      Is there an easy way to get this set up correctly again?

      Thanks!

        @UncleRoger this seems to indicate a failing SD card… get backed up ASAP…

        use my backup/restore scripts if nothing else. see

          Okay, so I should back everything up, install MM on a new card, and then reinstall config/css/etc.? Ugh.

          One of these days, I’m going to rebuild everything (physical stuff) to make it easier to access the RPi and all.

          Thanks!

            @UncleRoger sadly yes…

            my scripts will backup/restore your config… maybe save them to github to reinstall…
            and then the installer script does the base…

            so, its backup
            make a new sd card
            install mm via script
            restore the config

            should be back where you were… in a couple hours

            my scripts work over ssh… so no physical connection required
