electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more)

@bugsounet I followed your instructions but the rebuilding step failed with the following message:

MagicMirror Building module: epoll, Completed: 0gyp: name ‘openssl_fips’ is not defined while evaluating condition ‘openssl_fips != “”’ in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp
✖ MagicMirror Rebuild Failed

Do you know what the problem is? Thanks!

@susl :

• Recommended version of npm: v6.14.15
• Recommended version of node: v14.x.x or v16.x.x

to verify, try this in a terminal (or ssh):

node -v
npm -v

@bugsounet
node version: v17.3.0
npm version: 8.3.0

So obviously not the correct version :-( Do you know how I can change the versions?

[sdetweil]

@susl you can use n to install or select different versions of node (and npm)
to install n
sudo npm install n -g
then to install or use a version of node
n 16

to switch

n

the select from the list

Hi @bugsounet
Same problem after update to 2.19 :(

During the update, i needed to force because a log say the package-lock.json has been modified. Maybe my error.

Trying to reproduce the procedure, but

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild
⠋ Searching dependency tree
An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 17.2.0 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

Did you know how to solve this ?
