i can install pm2 but only with “npm install -g pm2” and not “sudo npm install -g pm2”

@Assassins -g means it’s available globally across the system
You can execute it in every folder
AND globally means adding to the /usr folder tree which require root authority (sudo)

Without means you have to be in the folder tree where you did npm install, AND If the install folder is NOT in the path, then you have to prefix pm2 with the correct path EVERY TIME

I think this also breaks boot time support which is the primary value, in my opinion

But your script works fine now that I have installed pm2

sdetweil

@Assassins which script?
And how did you install it. -g or not

With -g
My second test was without -g and it works there too
