    @sdetweil I just tried yours, and it failed also. npm also threw out some warnings and errors. The last line from the CLI states “Unable to install dependencies”

    Update on sdetweil script:

    I see why now it failed. It seems my pi ZeroW has issue with the Wi-Fi becoming unresponsive. I have to end up turning it on and off.

    I will try running it again

    Update 2: the WI-Fi became unresponsive again. I guess I need to go with a regular Pi to get this working. I do not like the performance of the Pi Zero anyway

      @KNERD where is the pi0 relative to your router? I did have some trouble like this before I installed a range extender in the office.

      I have since gone to Google WiFi mesh and things are much more stable.

          @sdetweil

          I have a Linksys Mesh setup here. The nearest point is about 10 feet away.

          For trying script, yes it was after flashing. This issue with the Wi-Fi just started recently. The Pi Zero came with a Google AIY 2.0 kit I purchased. I was using that AIY image Google was putting out. I wonder if that is a better image since it was targeted for the Pi Zero and the rest of the kit.

          Hmm. Wi-Fi just came back up as I was typing this…and back down

            @KNERD there is a post here about changing the wpa_suuplicant file
            https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=201850

            also, if u remove the hat does it work? might be a power supply problem

              The Wi-Fi was functioning just fine with the Google AIY image. I looked and thought I was using a 2A power supply because it is a CanaKit one. However, looking, I see it is only a 1A. I found another PS with 2A output. I do have other things connected to it such as USB Hub, mouse, and keyboard.

              Looking at that link, I do not think this applies to me, as I am not headless. Wi-Fi is having issues again: not resolving DNS.

              I am going to try the Google AIY image again since it seemed I was having more stability with it.

                  I know it is not a router issue. I have a complicated setup here. I have a router on site which is in Bridge Mode so the actual router in use does PPOE to connect to the ISP. The router has no Wi-Fi, and DNS disabled. The Linksys Mesh is in Bridge Mode in order to be a part of the LAN addresses. DNS and DHCP is done separately with Pi Hole. No other devices on Wi-Fi are having issue.

                  The Google AIY image is booting, now. I will give an update if I got issues with that, or not.

                      @sdetweil I think those "DNS issues’ with Pi Hole come from Pi Hole themselves for making the blaclist which they setup too strict. My DNS issues have nothing to do that. My network is not having DNS issues, just that Pi Zero while using the newest Raspberry Pi OS.

                      Hope to have an update within an hour
