Absolute Beginner Needing Help Installing Dependencies

[mdhenriksen]

@bhall321 HI! I see you are using the automatic installer which - I seem to recall - is missing Node. I would recommend doing a manual installation instead. The steps to do it is on GitHub and they are very easy to follow :-)

hello mdhenriksen

Thank you for your answer

I have run the automatic installer and the first error I got was “npm Command unknown”

So I installed Node and Npm and re-ran the automatic installer .
Then I got this error.

I am setting the sdcard for the raspberry Pi from scratch then i will try the manual step by step.

Thank you
Best regards

Habib

Hello
I am reading the step-by-step from github
First thing missing is the installation of NPM
Raspbian Stretch does not come with npm preinstalled (neither in normal, light or full version)

Is there a recommended version of npm ?

[sdetweil]

@leroyhab whatever the latest is…

this is a failing of the install script to check and install/update to the right levels

execute

sudo npm install npm@latest -g

Hello
Wunderbar !!

npm is installed with node !

manual setup finished succesfully

thank you very much

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil does that mean the automatic setup doesn’t have it or the manual github setup doesn’t have it listed as a step? :thinking_face:
