Error trying to run: npm run install-mm

Did this screw me up?

maybe…

try this

sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y

then do
node -v

@sdetweil I didn’t see any errors after running sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y
When I run node -v I get this:
bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory

sdetweil

@lvolkjr ok, do

ls /usr/bin/node

should return file not found
do
hash -r
node -v

just to make sure…
then run my install or upgrade script as appropriate…

lvolkjr

@sdetweil This is what I got:
lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /usr/bin/node
ls: cannot access ‘/usr/bin/node’: No such file or directory
lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ hash -r
lowell@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
bash: node: command not found

Do you still want me to run your script? I feel like node -v should have given me a different output, like the version number.

@lvolkjr I expected something too

I’d rebuild the SD card, boot, skip updates

then use my script. this node install is such a mess, they changed the process…ugh

lvolkjr

@sdetweil Yea, I figured. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully I could repay you in the future. I’ll keep you updated to what happens.

@sdetweil Thanks!!! That worked! I’m running MagicMirror and getting ready to customize it. I should have started over a long time ago.

sdetweil

@lvolkjr cool… yeh, its hard to tell when you’ve hit a real roadblock

glad you are working now… make sure to backup!!..
