MMM-GoogleAssistant doesn't run

[Mauro-1998]

Hello How are you ?, I was trying to install Google Assistant in my Magic Mirror, according to the tutorial: https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-GoogleAssistant/wiki/Installation and it was installed correctly, but at the time of testing it comes out a console error and the screen goes black. I need help please, thanks. I am testing it in Ubuntu and the configuration is copied from the page

There problem is not there
The problem is a snowboy library needed by snowboy in main core is not found
so it’s not an GA issue but a snowboy isssue
I will install Ubuntu for see what happen

[Mauro-1998]

@Bugsounet Ok thanks for your help!

[Mauro-1998]

@Bugsounet
Fix the problem by re-installing the snowboy library at @ bugsounet / snowboy, thanks for your help!

[Mauro-1998]

@Bugsounet
yes, install the library again in case it was an installation error and it worked, thanks for your help, it works perfectly!

[bryan_1]

@Bugsounet sorry, I am a beginner. I have installed GoogleAssistant successfully
as in Wiki. But when I start MagicMirror, I have only blank screen.

for me you have updated the module

I have installed GoogleAssistant successfully as in Wiki

Sorry but I don’t know which answer to choose
or just maybe i’m stupid !?

@Mauro-1998 he wrote, that he solved it by reinstalling the snowboy library. That’s why my question.

Wiki says for installing:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-GoogleAssistant

cd MMM-GoogleAssistant
npm install

I think … you do that ;)

after wiki says :

Don’t forget to do ALL electron-rebuild steps. [You have to respond Y]

No other npm commands are needed after installation (it can broken dependencies package) ! [not other command ! no npm fix, npm audit fix or other]

to solve it try update command:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant
npm run update

Note like you see… i just COPY/PAST the wiki …

[bryan_1]

@Bugsounet i did the npm run update, It works now. Thanks a lot…man you’re the best

@chethan the author has left the forums. i have noticed that some of his modules are becoming unstable. either no longer installing or failing to run.
