            @laluromeo said in Alexa not working:

            node-pre-gyp

            missing dependency, sound like installation not complete

            you had to do the 14 step install process listed on the wiki, right?

            I have a script that does those , I just copy/pasted and made it a script so I didn’t have to type…
            ignore the errors til; the last step

                @laluromeo from the doc linked to at that url
                3rd party takes you to the item in the list, click that link takes u to the module home page on github, then

                How to
                Check out the documentation for installation and usage: https://awesome-alexa.js.org
                

                which then says

                Installing
                First you have to setup your speakers and microphone correctly: Audio setup
                
                After you have done audio setup you can install Awesome Alexa module to your MagicMirror: Installation
                

                which then says

                Raspberry Pi Specific Dependencies
                If you are using Raspberry Pi install the following:
                
                $ sudo apt-get install swig3.0 python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio sox
                $ pip install pyaudio
                Copy to clipboardErrorCopied
                Note: You may need these to get python-pyaudio to work as mentioned here:
                
                $ sudo apt-get install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 ffmpeg libav-tools
                Copy to clipboardErrorCopied
                Then install the atlas matrix computing library:
                
                $ sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
                Copy to clipboardErrorCopied
                Step 2. Install Module
                Execute the following commands to install the module:
                
                Originally from: https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa/issues/164#issuecomment-492951739
                
                $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # Navigate to module folder

                $ cd MMM-awesome-alexa # go into the module directory
                $ 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
