I've been looking at the workarounds for this problem and expect I will get one of the two options to work. I do however think that this issue merits attention. Please address this problem:

npm ERR! code 1

Thank you.

to solve this, I had to switch to root, and run everything from there (homebridge, the harmony plugin, etc)

https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions. #2 worked for me.

Summary Back-up your computer before you start.

Make a directory for global installations:

mkdir ~/.npm-global Configure npm to use the new directory path:

npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global' Open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH Back on the command line, update your system variables:

source ~/.profile

su -l npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub

This should do it

DJay-X commented 6 years ago

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local && npm install homebridge-harmonyhub -g

Worked for me.
