Update to MagicMirror² v2.7.0 fails

[sdetweil]

@drfukc erase those two files

git pull, then npm install in MM, and then each module that has a package.json file

@sdetweil
partially it worked though the upgrade still terminates with this error message after running “sudo npm install” in the MM directory and all external modules that have a package.json file.
However, all of these have prompted me that they are already up-to-date.

These are my steps:

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install

now I check “2019-04-05T07_27_16_446Z-debug.log” but unfortunately this does not help me either:

When opening MagicMirror it looks like I have v2.7.0 installed, since the upgrading message has disappeared and things seem functional.

However my feeling is that the upgrade is just in the middle of somewhere, though the mirror is working.

you should not have done sudo npm install… this does the setup as root… which will cause problems later

also, looks like npm is downlevel , so do
all these from the MagicMirror folder

npm -v
npm install -g npm 
npm -v

this will show old and new versions

then

 sudo rm -rf node_modules

and then

npm install

again

Hi Sam,
thanks for your support, but unfortunately this takes me to the next issue when executing:

pi@magicmirror:~ $ npm -v
6.9.0

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install -g npm
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! syscall access

After, I changed permissions for /usr/lib/node_modules, but it simply took me to the next error.
I think I will re-start from scratch.
Cheers
ukc
