MMM-Pir

@gonzonia install node 20, MagicMirror has the same version restrictions, cause we found some problems w node 21

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20

sudo is required here because they both update the /usr folder

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Thanks!

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil I did that and I still get the same problem. How do I make sure it uses the correct version?

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo npm install n -g

added 1 package in 5s
pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo n 20
     copying : node/20.18.0
   installed : v20.18.0 (with npm 10.8.2)

@gonzonia said in MMM-Pir:

{“npm”:“10.9.0”,“node”:“v21.7.1”}

you may have to close and open new shell
or do

hash -r

to update the path

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Okay.
I’ve run

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20
hash -r

then closed the terminal and reconnected.
Went back into the MMM-Pir directory and tried running the setup again.
Same problem

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia node -v
returns what?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ node -v 
v21.7.1

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia weird… how did you upgrade to node 21?
apt or nvm?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Honestly, I don’t remember. I think I installed nvm at one point to fix something else but I do run apt regularly to update everything

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia do nvm -v

n and nvm do the same thing
nvm is a bash script
n is a javascript app
