@laluromeo said in Alexa not working:

node-pre-gyp

missing dependency, sound like installation not complete

you had to do the 14 step install process listed on the wiki, right?

I have a script that does those , I just copy/pasted and made it a script so I didn’t have to type…
ignore the errors til; the last step

@sdetweil
Never worked, I just installed awesome alexa. The method to install is from MMM-awesome-alexa from modules section @ https://magicmirror.builders/

[sdetweil]

@laluromeo from the doc linked to at that url
3rd party takes you to the item in the list, click that link takes u to the module home page on github, then

How to
Check out the documentation for installation and usage: https://awesome-alexa.js.org

which then says

Installing
First you have to setup your speakers and microphone correctly: Audio setup

After you have done audio setup you can install Awesome Alexa module to your MagicMirror: Installation

which then says

Raspberry Pi Specific Dependencies
If you are using Raspberry Pi install the following:

$ sudo apt-get install swig3.0 python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio sox
$ pip install pyaudio
Copy to clipboardErrorCopied
Note: You may need these to get python-pyaudio to work as mentioned here:

$ sudo apt-get install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 ffmpeg libav-tools
