Error on npm install

rmeskill

I’ve run npm cache clean --force also to no avail. And here’s the output of the .log file referenced in the initial error:

I just installed a module and it asked me to update NPM think i did it in the root directory not MagicMirror one can be sure.

This is what worked for me
sudo npm i -g npm

sudo npm i -g npm didn’t work for me, got this error:

Did give me a positive output:

Trying npm install again…

@rmeskill try do it in the MagicMirror folder
sudo npm i -g npm

@paddyhughes -g means global, not mm specific.

Sudo still doesn’t work, but I tried it again just ‘npm i -g npm’ in the MagicMirror folder. Now I’m trying npm install again in the MagicMirror folder again, so I guess we’ll see, but it looks like it’s stuck at the same point as last time

@rmeskill looks like node is also downlevel

Do you mean I should upgrade it? this isn’t enough:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ node -v
v11.6.0

@rmeskill that is a surprise
