Installing on a Pi Zero
-
looks like changing the electron version to “^2.0.0” isn;t working anymore as it tries to intsall 1.8.0 and it gets the following error. Any idea why it isn’t looking for the version in the package.json file? thanks!
“Error: Failed to find Electron v1.8.0 for linux-armv6l at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.8.0/chromedriver-v1.8.0-linux-armv6l.zip”
-
Solve it like this: “npm install --arch=armv7l”

@qu1que
Yes, I just update installation command by --arch argument, and MM installs w/o errors. -
@InfiProj is there a command u could use to tell this is a zero, So I could update the installer?
Thanks

@sdetweil
In Linux we can ask OS about architecture. “arch” - this command returns CPU architecture. For rpi zero - armv6l, for rpi 3b - armv7l. Maybe that helps you. -
@InfiProj it does. Thx
Not near computer, maybe uname provides info too
-
@sdetweil
“uname -m” - does the same as “arch”,
“uname -p” and “uname -i” says unknown. -
Thanks for the PDF guide/instructions, after a week of tinkering and googling this was the only method I got to work with my Zero (Wish I started with this guide!)

@InfiProj thanks… I’ve updated my new test installer to use that info

my intent is to submit this new installer to replace the project version…
