@sdetweil

Hey!
I tried this several times. it seems like there is no way on my system to properly reinstall node. All I get is the same errors I posted above. So my next step (the one I didn’t want to do) is to set up a completely new system and build up everything from scratch.

Anyway thank you for your help!

@sdetweil said in Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0:

sudo apt install nodejs

node -v

ah snap, I made a small mistake here. I redid it without typo:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install nodejs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
nodejs is already the newest version (18.17.1-deb-1nodesource1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

somewhere in my OS must still remain some node debris…

Edit: tried this:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt remove nodejs

@sdetweil

okay done all that, node is completely gone from my machine. I guess, reinstalling it would be the next step?

@sdetweil said in Error EBADENGINE when installing MM v2.28.0:

@Ix wild… never seen this.

SO, i would use nvm and n to remove all the added node versions…

done

get back to whatever before…
exit the shell window and open again

done

verify still on the prior nodejs

then use n version_number

sudo n 20.9
verify that is correct node -v
the close shell and open again,
verify node

well, now there’s another problem:

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo n 20.9

/usr/bin/n: Zeile 746: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

mirror@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
-bash: /usr/local/bin/node: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Sry for German: it’s “no such file or directory”

then try the npm run install-mm again

@sdetweil

I deleted node_modules directory as recommended and after that, this is what happened:

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run install-mm

> magicmirror@2.28.0 install-mm
> npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev

npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.28.0
npm error notsup Required: {"node":">=20"}
npm error notsup Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.2","node":"v18.18.0"}
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/mirror/.npm/_logs/2024-08-04T20_08_34_045Z-debug-0.log

Now it says it’s running on node v18.18.0 instead of v18.17.1 but still not v20.16 which is installed. I don’t get it at all…

whoami

mirror@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ whoami
