@potts-mike said in Help With 2.8 Install?:

npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.21

npm is WAY downlevel

wanna try my new installer script?
it would be better just to start over again…

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)"

I have also made a new script for upgrading

I saw your other post. What is different between yours and the official one?

[sdetweil]

@potts-mike fixes for npm level, pm2 , non pi installs (mac, etc, and users who are not ‘pi’)

hope to get this in to the next cycle
along with the upgrade script

@potts-mike

I highly recommend @sdetweil’s scripts. :thumbsup:

@sdetweil I tried the new script and it did not autostart on reboot

[sdetweil]

@Gomalley which script did u use?

Upgrade doesn’t touch the pm2 config at all

@sdetweil

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)"

@sdetweil i did not do

npm install

before I pasted the code above. Do you think thats my issue

[sdetweil]

@Gomalley the installer attempts to get node and npm up to the latest level.
And it does the npm install

Then it asks about using pm2.

Sadly it doesn’t have a log, I didn’t write the original. But I think I will add that. This is install from nothing.

Do
node -v
npm -v
Let me know
