<![CDATA[Can’t create nod_modules directory when installing awesome-alexa]]>I follow the installation commands and after running the

npm install - - only=prod

It does not create then node_modules directory so I get a non such directory when I enter the next command.

I have tried the “npm update” and the “ npm init” commands but still no luck.

Any advice?

there should be no reason for this problem

erase the module folder again and run the script like this

bash -x do-install.sh &>somefile.txt

and send me somefile.txt via email

same userid as here at gmail

Even went back and deleted the complete MMM-awesome-alexa directory and tried again with same result. I get an early warning that my package-lock.json was created with an old version of npm and it had to retrieve info from the registry. Warnings and errors start from there.

I am fairly new at this but had success installing the google photos module.

Would really like to get this alexa module installed but am at a loss.

Yes I did. For some reason it is not creating the node_modules directory so I get an error trying to execute the next command.

I turned all the wiki steps into a short script a couple years ago
