Need Testing new dependencies auto installer

bugsounet

You have some difficulty for installing MMM-Detector or MMM-GoogleAssistant
and you have some error ?

This testing script is yours !

I’m just writing an new auto installer for auto-installing all new dependencies

If you want to try it, this is some needed commands:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/bugsounet/require
cd require
./require.sh

just tell me if helping and what do you think about this

Tested.

you used a “;” instead a “:” after https

but it’s not working. I updated to npm 7.18.1, i like to be updated xD.

And this script is not changing the version:

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ git clone https://github.com/bugsounet/require

Notes:
If any version change maybe you have to reinstall any modules !
For @bugsounet modules:
MMM-Detector: npm run rebuild
MMM-GoogleAssistant: npm run rebuild
for Others modules npm install should works

pi@MagicMirror:~/require $ npm -v
7.18.1
pi@MagicMirror:~/require $

Maybe you tried to install npm with sudo, and (in my case) it’s without sudo

Fix with “:” and works for me

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/bugsounet/require
cd require
./require.sh

@calcu :

nop it’s not that: script source
just because you don’t use official package for node.
if you prefer to use n package it’s not a solution

If you use n pacakge. All is install in another directory.

so:

you can’t use apt-get update nodejs for updating node
and you can’t use sudo npm install -g npm@6 because it’s managed by n too

that why it’s not works

@bugsounet my knowledge is limited but i think it’s:

in line 375 you use “sudo npm install -g npm@6.14.15”

I checked 2 times in my system:

Actual version:

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ npm -v
6.14.15
pi@MagicMirror:~ $ sudo npm -v
7.24.2

and Magicmirror was installed without sudo, that means it uses the first version.

CalcU

i can install with: ‘sudo npm install -g npm@6.14.15’ and with ‘npm install -g npm@6.14.15’. and i have actually both installed

bugsounet

it’s just mean that you have 2 version of npm installed (v7 for all user) and you override this rule but install v6.14.15 by installing npm in MagicMirror dependency [BUT worls only for MM not for Modules] or/and overrided by n package [this play with $PATH environment]

this methode for installing npackage is funny…

you have to install nodejs (by node installer from website)
you have to install npm (installed by default with nodejs)
and now you can install n … (not really logic !)

really not a proper method sorry
