MMM-Navigate cannot be installed

Klaleu

I mean this excerpt from the LOG_file (see my answer of Jun 13, 2024, 4:41 PM):

…

You can see I did “electron-rebuild” and after that I tried to install MMM-Navigate without any success.
I you need the hole LOG-File, or is the excerpt sufficient?

@Klaleu I need you to execute the command I listed, now
and show it’s results

I need to determine what the permission problem is exactly before I can tell you how to resolve it

Klaleu

Hello Sam,
You wrote: " I need you to execute the command I listed, now and show it’s results"
Now I’m a little bit confused. I executed severel commands you asked my for and dokumented the results.
Please write to me exactly what I need to do to provide you with the information to isolate the problem. Unfortunately, I’m just a layman and can’t get any further in this case on my own and need help from experienced programmers.
Thank you.
Klaus

@Klaleu see here

Dear Sam,
Yes, I have already executed these commands:

ls -laF ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
and
cd ~/MagicMirror
ls -laF node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild-

and sent the results to you.
Please tell me what I did wrong so that the results were not meaningful for you.

A nice Weekend for you.

@Klaleu said in MMM-Navigate cannot be installed:

and sent the results to you.

where? I am not the module author. I don’t see a text message here from you
and I didn’t give you my email

edit: sorry, I found it, burried in other messages,

very weird… SO, try this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm uninstall @electron/rebuild

then , to see if this is fixed by having the postinstall script reinstall it…

cd modules/MMM-Navigate
./postinstall

this approach was copied from me, so I am confused why it is failing

Klaleu

Dear Sam,
I ran the following commands:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm uninstall @electron/rebuild

This was the result:

After that I executed these commands:

cd modules/MMM-Navigate
./postinstall

This was the result:

klaus@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ cd modules/MMM-Navigate
klaus@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Navigate $ ./postinstall
./postinstall: line 8: …/…/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild: Permission denied
klaus@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Navigate $

and and postinstall is not carried out.

I hope you can interpret the results.

@Klaleu no idea.
never run npm audit or npm fund

Klaleu

Ok.
What would you do now if you were me? I only see one option: reinstalling the basic configuration of the Magic Mirror and then installing MMM-Navigate as the first module. Maybe a module I’ve already installed is causing access to be denied. What do you think?

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to help me.

Klaus

sdetweil

@Klaleu let’s try this

cd ~/MagicMirror 
rm -rf node_modules 
npm run install-mm

then

cd modules/MMM-Navigate
./postinstall

then

cd  ~/MagicMirror 
npm start
