What hardware and OS are you using ?

@THeStigh
I am using a Raspi 3 B+ and latest release of Stretch and MagicMirror.
I am a newbie and though I tried all the troubleshooting tipps described I wasn’t able to install Hotword and snowboy.

@thedoorsfanatic Snowboy can be tricky, but @sean has made some good troubleshooting guides on the page for MMM-Hotword. But you can delete the MMM-Hotword folder and try to re-install it following these instructions to do it quite manually. If it fails, you at least will get a clear picture of where it actually failed:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev libatlas-base-dev sox libsox-fmt-all
git clone https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Hotword.git
cd MMM-Hotword
npm install

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
npm install nan
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

This is the error code:

@ejay-ibm, @THeStigh i have installed MMM-Hotword. I hope correctly? as i got only warning via npm like

npm WARN MMM-Hotword@1.1.0 No repository field.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword $ npm install --save snowboy
npm WARN deprecated cryptiles@2.0.5: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated boom@2.10.1: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated hoek@2.16.3: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN MMM-Hotword@1.1.0 No repository field.

I am not sure how i can test it tho?
Or there is nothing to expect with only MMM-hotword installed?
(sorry if my question is stupid :) )

@bibi start mirror in dev mode

npm start dev

Select the console tab in the developers window

You should see MMM-Hotword sending notifications of the words it recognizes

You can ignore some WARN unless your program is working.
