nodejs Warnings on recent Stretch-Buster update

[qu1que]

Hi all,

Recently I’ve updated my raspbian stretch to raspbian buster on the Raspberry Pi 3 where I have installed MM (v. 2.8.0). Everything goes well, except for one thing. When I launch the following commands (on a bash script):

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

The mirror starts well, but I get these warnings:

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.15.2
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/

After MM starts, some modules are not showed, and I think maybe is for that reason.

How could I solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Finally I’ve found the solution looking at the forum:

sudo npm install npm@latest -g

Hello, tried also under manuell install process to use:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install npm@latest -g
/usr/bin/npm -> /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
/usr/bin/npx -> /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js
+ npm@6.10.1
added 19 packages from 13 contributors, removed 12 packages and updated 32 packages in 61.073s

But still:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.8.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

npm install

Oh that’s looks better & I can start now. Below outcome of installation.
So what did I do with the line “npm@latest -g” before. Did I define for nom to use older version, that was appliedduring current run of “npm install”?

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install
npm WARN deprecated time-grunt@2.0.0: Deprecated because Grunt is practically unmaintained. Move on to something better. This package will continue to work with Grunt v1, but it will not receive any updates.
