Hello-Lucy installation troubles

sdetweil

we may have to start over, as I have no idea what ‘installer’ u have been running or how

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rm -rf MMM-Hello-Lucy
Then git clone Mykles repo
cd MMM-Hello-Lucy
cd installers
./dependencies.sh
cd ..
npm install

@sdetweil actually I have dependencies.sh, because the ./ makes it invisible even if it was there. Typing ls in installers makes me see the normal dependencies.sh

@SSkull995 but it is not in the path, do you have to use ./ to select it

From the readme

Please complete all 3

Open a terminal.

git clone https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy into the ~/MagicMirror/modules directory

Then
cd Hello-Lucy/installers

Then
bash dependencies.sh

I can see I did not really explained myself, and I am sorry for that. I did the three passages of yours in the readme, and after reinstalling everything now it does not show me any error during installation! Yes!
BUT, now I run MagicMirror with the module installed and put in the config.js, and this message comes up:

No helper found for module: alert.
[15:12:13.980] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ] in JSON at position 6643

This occurs only when I put the module in config.js, but I don’t know where the error is, what is the JSON file?
Many thanks and sorry!

I see. I just did an install on a new machine and encountered the same error. I’m looking into it. Even my working Lucy installation is suffering the same error. Weird.

@SSkull995 said in Hello-Lucy installation troubles:

First, forgive me. This entire issue was my fault.

I recently added some defaults to the checkCommands.json file and left a trailing comma at the end of the file. I’ve corrected the problem, tested it and pushed the corrected file to the repo. To clear the SyntaxError: Unexpected token ] in JSON at position 6643 error, following this instruction.

Do a git pull in the Hello-Lucy directory.

Please advise on the result. :-)

@Mykle1 Perfect! I will do it right now, let me just boot my raspi. Many thanks and sorry once more, I was into solving this problem, but I could not figure out where the json was ahah!

@Mykle1 You are the man! Now it works without problems! I just can’t get my intro .mp3 work, but that is simple fix. Many thanks Mykle! Have a nice day and sorry for the problems :)

Ok so, troubles again sorry! I just restarted MM and now Lucy starts but does not hide my modules and does not get the starting phrase. The microphone is working as the speaker, and the modules are the same as before.
No clue why this occurs, no errors during MM startup

Edit:
I notice that the intro voice starts, as well as the mic icon and the string “Say Hello Lucy”. However, all my modules are there, as the program does not hide them, and the start phrase is not recognised. I just used alsamixer to check the card number, which matches the config.js one. Further, I tried to record myself and the microphone works without problems, I can clearly hear my voice and the hello Lucy phrase.
Maybe something in the program is still making some troubles? Many thanks again Mykle!

So many edit:
Now when I start the MM, the microphone blinks barred, like no microphone. And it’s stated “Command Please”. It is weird, because I launched it and it froze on the “command” and no mic and no welcome phrases. Sometimes it starts tho, without really a scheme
