UNSOLVED bash: npm: command not found RPI 3B
-
I have looked through the forums for anyone else having asked this question so as to not create another but I couldn’t locate a previous post about my exact issue.
I am trying to install using the manual instructions on the MagicMirror2 website but I am unable to complete them. When I get to step 4 (npm install) I get the following.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg --configure -a’ to correct the problem.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $I am using the latest full version of Raspberry Pi OS with Desktop and recommended software Kernel version 5.10 on Pi 3B.
I have been playing with the rpi since 2015 on and off but I am for sure no expert user so any help would be great. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

@d_n_i use my install script
many platforms don’t have node & npm installedsee
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptshave to delete the MagicMirror folder first.
-
@sdetweil thanks for the reply! Can you direct me any further on what specifically that looks like? I’m not quite sure I understand where on the link you gave to look.
-
@d_n_i read the page. if your native language is not English translate the page.
-
@sdetweil English is my native language and I do know how to use translate but thank you.
I’ve tried what’s on the page you sent all day as well as the the one stated above but I still have not gotten anywhere unfortunately. I’ve tried on Pi3B and Pi4 and running the script you sent gives me the following,

@d_n_i ok, this is bullseye base if u downloaded since oct 30.
so you need to use the one for bullseye
and you will have to reflash the SD card, as the bad install messes up everything.
