npn errors #237

Closed SteveRMann closed 6 years ago

SteveRMann commented 6 years ago

Tried to follow the instructions, but two problems came up. First, "Go to your project directory, cd /". What project directory?

Second, the instruction line: "npm node-openzwave-shared" is wrong, I suspect you mean "npm install node-openzwave-shared". But when I do, I get the following error:

Not found : node-openzwave-shared npm ERR! 404 'node-openzwave-shared' is not in the npm registry. npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it...

So, I am stuck at step three.

the NPM package name is 'openzwave-shared', apologies for the confusion. BTW which instructions are you following? this typo was fixed some time ago.

SteveRMann commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the prompt reply.. I am using the instructions in: https://raspberrypihq.com/how-to-create-a-z-wave-smart-home-hub-using-a-raspberry-pi/ Which looks like a copy of the instructions in this git: https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared/blob/master/README-raspbian.md And the confusing Step three is corrected in the git.

But, in Step three, what is meant by "project directory"?

Thanks again.

When running npm install <package> without the -g (global) option then npm will install it locally in your project directory (wherever that might be) under a subdirectory called node_modules. In case you just want to experiment you can simply use any directory (or your home directory) just make sure to remember running node from that same directory when doing a require('openzwave-shared').

Makes sense. I am trying to use Node Red to talk to some ZWave devices. I am using the Pi that is also my MQTT broker as the ZWave hub with the Aeotek ZStick.

So, the "last" step says to install npm install node-red-contrib-openzwave in ~/.node-red. With that environment, where would you put node-openzwave-shared?

I have no plans to write any other code for ZWave, I just want to use Node Red in my home IOT.

you should install openzwave-shared under .node-red then.

Many thanks, that's exactly the info I've been looking for.

I give up. Copied a fresh SD (from a backup of my working system) and followed the instructions in the git, and step three: cd ~/.node-red npm install openzwave-shared You can test node-openzwave-shared wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared/master/test2.js node test2.js still fails with tons of "... cannot find module..." errors.
