Can you try sudo -s and npm i -g wiring-pi?

Jarvis785 commented 7 years ago

its installed now without errors but...... to run i have to write $ sudo node something.js

its ok to type sudo in terminal and run ...

but when it comes to run at startup automatically .... then it becomes a problem.... its showing :: wiringPiSetup: Must be root. (Did you forget sudo?)

can u say what password to type during global install (sudo npm install -g wiring-pi) ?? my pi's password or what ??

Per default, sudo has no password on a raspberry pi. At least that's what I experienced on mine.

  1. Global installation is not supported (see #38)
  2. It's your JS application that requires to be run as root (see #32)
