 @Ameyalgudkar there is a multi-step procedure in the AwesomeAlexa README.md file for install, you have to follow that 
- 
 @sdetweil I did follow all the steps, and now I am getting stuck at this npm install step for installing dependencies. namely “snowboy” which is required for the hotword recognition. 
- 
 @Ameyalgudkar these steps, right? https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation, 
 Step 2. Install Module
  
- 
 @sdetweil yes those steps. 
 The one I am referring to is 4th to last.

 @Ameyalgudkar said in MMM Awesome Alexa installing snowboy.: 5.4.51-v7l+ are u trying to install on 64bit RaspiOS? my PI’s are running kernel 4.19 on 32bit raspiOS 
- 
 @sdetweil I believe I’m on 5.4.51 kernel but not sure if that’s the one. and don’t know if 32/64 bit. 
- 
 @Ameyalgudkar no idea if it will work 
- 
 there. 
 and if there’s a way to run it on 4.19 then how do I downgrade?
- 
 @Ameyalgudkar no idea… i see the latest images are all at kernel 5.4
