upgrade to new NPM version?

[kai]

@sdetweil cool, thanks a lot!

[KristjanESPERANTO]

Since 6.14.12 there have been a lot of bug fixes, so an upgrade is recommended. And MM works fine with 8.19.2.

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO if they are running fine, no reason to upgrade. when a new mm release comes that needs a new node or npm, then my script will upgrade that too

@sdetweil how to update npm version?my MM is on the last version, but my raspian already has a better version of npm than my Magic mirror, but my MM doesnt see that.

[sdetweil]

@eltonnascimento sudo npm i npm@version-numnumber

note that I may have to npm install in every module folder that has a package.json and the base

I would ignore the message.

my upgrade script will be upgraded to install npm 8 on the next release (jan, 1)

[eltonnascimento]

@sdetweil I ran the command sudo npm i npm@8.19 inside the /MagicMirror folder, but it didn’t update the npm version. then I ran the command npm install inside MMM-Tools, without success.

do you have any other tips?

[sdetweil]

@eltonnascimento but it did. npm is 8 now

[eltonnascimento]

@sdetweil but the MM-Tools module, indicates that npm is v6.14.12…as in the first picture above. I already did the npm install inside the MMM-Tools directory as well.

[sdetweil]

@eltonnascimento I don’t know about mmm-tools.

you don’t install npm in any folder

-g means global

ah I forgot the -g

 sudo npm i -g npm@version_number
