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

sudo apt install nodejs

node -v

ah snap, I made a small mistake here. I redid it without typo:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install nodejs

nodejs is already the newest version (18.17.1-deb-1nodesource1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

somewhere in my OS must still remain some node debris…

Edit: tried this:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt remove nodejs

@Ix do

hash -r 
which node
which npm

if they respond then that is the path location of each program

@sdetweil

Hey!
I tried this several times. it seems like there is no way on my system to properly reinstall node. All I get is the same errors I posted above. So my next step (the one I didn’t want to do) is to set up a completely new system and build up everything from scratch.

Anyway thank you for your help!

sdetweil

@Ix backup your MagicMirror config
