Pi Zero installation erroring

[eggyclaw]

I'm performing a fresh install on a Pi Zero and getting some errors which isn't allowing me to run ToyPad. I've used the new Raspberry Pi Imager to flash OS lite x64 and also using the advanced options to set up headerless install.

Stepping through the code line by line, everything seems fine until Step 5 and running 'npm install'. When I run this I get the following in the SSH log:

alex@raspberrypi:~/LD-ToyPad-Emulator $ npm install

node-hid@2.1.1 install /home/alex/LD-ToyPad-Emulator/node_modules/node-hid prebuild-install --runtime napi || node-gyp rebuild

If I then try and run ToyBox I just get the following:

alex@raspberrypi:~/LD-ToyPad-Emulator $ node index.js internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:670 throw err; ^

Any ideas on what could be happening? The npm log suggests there are dependencies missing, could this be the case?

I'm not sure what causes this issue, but I know that if you force the install using npm install --force it works fine

[eggyclaw]

Thanks - I can confirm using the force option did make the program work. It's worth noting however, that the install process still outputted Warnings and Errors.

[spudpiggy]

Change this issue to be about how you need to use force. That's still kind of a problem

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

Run that before npm install, and no errors will be shown
