MM2 my first try

[seramik]

hi guys
i just bought my rpi 3B+
it seems ok for me with raspbian, it worked

so i launch the automatic install
then :
installing dependencies…
bash: ligne112: npm: commande introuvable
unable to install dependencies!

so any advices ? what i’ve done wrong ?

@seramik a good question with way too less info to give a good answer. maybe this install guide can help you further!

This is just a shot in the dark but are node and npm up to date? Older versions of node and npm often cause this.

for the tutorial, it is an very old version, now the first setup is quicker and the ver of MM is very old ( not even mm²)
so dont advices those kind of thinks …
i’ve retry for the star and it mades the same trouble

node version is V8.11.1
minimum ver required is V5

i dont know for npm, how to know ?

fine, i’ve done correct upgrade and manual install
mm² is running
i saw him then i stop it with alt key and quit option

i’m trying to setup the config.js file
and i wonder how i can restart the mm² programm again

[seramik]

ok i’ve found that in term , in the correct directory, i write " npm start" and it start

i try to understand the config file, i just copied the sample file by changing his name
now i will try to change the city for the weather

had the same issue with a brand spankin new installation of raspian noobs full and apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade done. freshly set up. the install oneliner failed. only manual setup worked. using a rpi3. maybe there’s a broken dependency somewhere?
