MMM Awesome Alexa installing snowboy.

Ameyalgudkar

@Bugsounet with your automated process it got installed within modules of magic mirror.

Was the error installing MMM-AwesomeAlexa solved? I am also stuck at the step “npm run prepublish”. (see below).
I tried the fix to install libcblas, but my system shows that it is already installed.
I am running a clean install of the latest Buster full release with a basic install of MagicMirror - no other add-on modules.

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy# npm run prepublish

> snowboy@1.3.1 prepublish /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy
> tsc --listFiles

@Ameyalgudkar sure that’s why I do my own … because to complex to build with original repo

I fork it and correct source file, upgraded some library.
Add some personal change for simply configuration…

But i never tested it in this module … maybe there is a few change to do … i don’t know really
I don’t use Alexa ':(

@gelaw no it didn’t. still trying to figure somehow to install Snowboy. just the npm install method is not executing properly. I need the help of dev if I could. but looks like he hasn’t touched his post for a while.

@Ameyalgudkar did u run my script? you keep going thru the steps even if there are errors…

Ameyalgudkar

@sdetweil yes I tried, but snowboy not getting installed. here is the errors

if that would be helpful for you to understand what is actually happening. sorry for the file being very long and tiring.

install nan wih npm

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar no you did NOT use my script, OR follow the instructions… the instructions explicitly tell you to install nan

https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation

my script, which is same as the instructions for this module, plus the step to add the one dependency
over and over we asked if u followed the instructions… but u have not…

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # Navigate to module folder 
if [  ! -e   ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa ]; then
   git clone https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa.git # Clone this repository
 fi
 cd MMM-awesome-alexa # go into the module directory
 v=$(apt -qq list libatlas-base-dev 2>/dev/null)
 if [ "$v". == "." ]; then 
   sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
 fi
 npm install --only=prod # Install depdendencies
 cd node_modules
 rm -rf snowboy # Remove the installed snowboy
 git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy.git # Manually get snowboy from git
 cd snowboy # Go into the /snowboy directory
 rm -rf node_modules
 npm install nan --save # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory        /< --------------------------------------------
 npm install node-pre-gyp@0.12.0 --save # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory
 npm install # Make sure you install in the /snowboy directory
 npm run prepublish # Make sure you run this in the /snowboy directory
 npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory
 npm install nan # Make sure you install this in the /snowboy directory
 ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild # Build snowboy to your device specifications, in the /snowboy directory

@sdetweil now I really dont know what else I have to follow, you can see each and every step I did, I literally copy pasted all the commands as they are. in the same order and directories, I havent included the first few steps mentioned as they get executed every time. I have posted every step which has got errors.

sdetweil

@Ameyalgudkar ignore the errors and keep going… it WILL FAIL til the last step…

which is why I offered the script to do it for you
