<![CDATA[Node/NPM not installed?]]>I’m not sure what happened but it seems that npm and node are no longer set up on my RPi. The MM seems to run fine but updating (npm install) modules returns “-bash: npm:” command not found".

I did “node -v” and got the same error (only “node” instead of “npm”).

Is there an easy way to get this set up correctly again?

Thanks!

my scripts will backup/restore your config… maybe save them to github to reinstall…
and then the installer script does the base…

so, its backup
make a new sd card
install mm via script
restore the config

should be back where you were… in a couple hours

my scripts work over ssh… so no physical connection required

Okay, so I should back everything up, install MM on a new card, and then reinstall config/css/etc.? Ugh.

One of these days, I’m going to rebuild everything (physical stuff) to make it easier to access the RPi and all.

Thanks!

use my backup/restore scripts if nothing else. see
