Can't install homebridge-cmd-television on homebridge pi3

[rap165]

Hi @NorthernMan54 kudos & awesome work and I appreciate your work.

I have Homebridge v1.3.6 running on Homebridge Raspbian v1.0.25 - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 and I can now control my AppleTV using the atvremote -s 192.168.1.167 --airplay-credentialscat ~/atv.credturn_on command... nice, finally we can start the AppleTV with iOS15 again...

yet now I need to get into the homebridge plugin when trying to install your plugin I get the following error...

(pyatv_venv) pi@homebridge:~ $ sudo npm i -g https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

npm ERR! code 128 npm ERR! An unknown git error occurred npm ERR! command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://git@github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television.git npm ERR! git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository. npm ERR! npm ERR! Please make sure you have the correct access rights npm ERR! and the repository exists.

when trying without sudo I get npm i -g https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-cmd-television

npm ERR! code EACCES npm ERR! syscall mkdir npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-cmd-television npm ERR! errno -13 npm ERR!

I tried also using the homebridge-config-ui-x v4.41.2 but there are many homebridge-cmd-television plugins that fail to install... Any pointers?

cheers

FYI - This is still a work in progress, and not functional yet - the buttons aren't wired

But this is an issue with your version of NPM / NodeJS, and you likely need to upgrade or something. But upgrading NPM and NodeJS can break your setup, and cause other issues, so not something to quickly try.

So I spent the morning finalizing the code, and it is now fully functional. I can confirm that I can pause/play and turn on/off my Apple TV with Alexa.
