Error when installing

[gijbelsy]

I'm receiving the following error when trying to install MMM-Buttons:

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Buttons $ npm install

It seems that the sh -c node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e node_modules/electron command causes problems.
Any solution to this?

[gijbelsy]

It seems that there are breaking changes in node-js v17. Downgrading to v14 resolved the issue.
But still, this needs to be adressed.

I have the same problem after upgrading to MM 2.18.0
Maybe it is the same problem as described here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16074/electron-rebuild-and-magicmirror-v2-18-and-more I tried the steps but it didn't work.

[anticommander]

Follow the instructions in the readme to clone the repository. Then edit package.json and under devDependencies replace

"electron-rebuild": "^1.2.1"

with

"magicmirror-rebuild": "^1.0.0"

and under scripts replace

"postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron"

with

"postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron"

Save your changes to package.json and run npm install

[sdetweil]

see pr #18

[nfxhk]

I still can't install even after making those changes. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for replying, I did try your fork and I get a different error. Any ideas?

[sdetweil]

you are using node 12, MagicMirror requires node 16.13

and NEVER use sudo on any module

try that again

[nfxhk]

You’re right! Thank you so much it worked!

@ktfcaptain sorry, don't understand. did it work?

Yes, for that particular issue. Still trying to get other stuff to work, but I just go this to load so feeling somewhat accomplished...
