Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0

[Ix]

Hello!
I have issues updating my MagicMirror to the current version 2.28.0.

When I run npm install I get this error message:

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm run install-mm

> magicmirror@2.28.0 install-mm
> npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev

npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
npm error notsup Required: {"node":">=20"}
npm error notsup Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.1","node":"v18.17.1"}
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /root/.npm/_logs/2024-08-04T16_49_26_116Z-debug-0.log

seems easy to solve, but I absolutely fail to bring my node to the required version.

using nvm current I get this answer:

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ nvm current
v20.16.0

Edit: this is what happens if I try and install node via n:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo n lts
  installing : node-v20.16.0
       mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/20.16.0
       fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.16.0/node-v20.16.0-linux-arm64.tar.xz
     copying : node/20.16.0
/usr/bin/n: Zeile 746: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
   installed :  (with npm 10.8.1)

so it should work… PLEASE help!

@Ix ONE… NEVER EVER use sudo for MM commands, EVER…

once you do that then you HAVE to use SUDO for a lot of things you don’t want to give root permissions

note node and npm are not MM commands

SO, you had to upgrade node and npm for this release BEFORE doing the upgrade
see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18836/v2-28-0

OR, you could have run the upgrade command from my scripts repo
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

for node version, check (not what nvm thinks)
node -v

my scripts use the tool n, which is nvm written in javascript…

@sdetweil

first: thanks for answering so fast!

node -v gives this:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v20.16.0

this is also the version I installed via n
nevertheless, the wrong version is recognized when trying npm i

[sdetweil]

@Ix how about npm -v

[Ix]

@sdetweil

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
10.8.1

[sdetweil]

@Ix ok, can u give the output of

npm run install-mm

now

ok, it thinks you are running npm as root… probably cause of some sudo somwhere…

@Ix said in Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0:

drwxr-xr-x 414 root root 28672 3. Apr 17:16 node_modules/

my only guess

SO, lets try

cd ~/MagicMirror
# using sudo here only to remove the root owned folder
sudo rm -rf node_modules
npm run install-mm
