      @bnsrx did you git clone and npm install afterwards or did you try the automatic installation via curl?

        I did the curl install. Think I’ll have better luck on the git clone?

          @bnsrx I think it’s worth a try, yes

            Thanks. Here’s a question though… having installed node.js on my Pixel Mac, I can’t just type “npm install && npm start” - npm isn’t recognised. If I type node -v it doesn’t recognise that, or npm -v - but it does recognise nodejs -v.

            If I type nodejs and enter that…app?, and I then type npm install && npm start, I get the response “npm should be run outside of your node repl, in your normal shell”.

            Any thoughts much appreciated.

              @yawns …update,

              downloaded installers/raspberry.sh, removed the lines in which the script sniffs your pi, saved it to my dropbox and ran it from there. Installing now, will update if successful.

              update: unsuccessful. Was going great until it hit the same problem - “npm - command not found. Unable to install dependencies.”

              I wonder why npm is not flying on this port of Pixel.
