installation-problems with node 6 #50

Closed usefulthink closed 6 years ago

submitted by @ben0bi as comment in #29

I could not install it with nodejs v6 and I could not install nodejs v4. For me, it works with nodejs v0.12.

Would like to mark this as todo, compatibility for nodejs >= v4 (Or is it my system? I use the RetroPie-Distro and LXDE as window manager. Multipurpose is the key.)

I've been using it in a node v6.4 project of mine for the last couple of months without issue. It's been running on an rpi0 and the original model B. I can attempt to do a fresh pull of the dependency and have it recompile when I have time to verify.

@cernst11 thanks for the heads up, that's good to know.

It's a RasPi 2 B
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get update / apt-get install nodejs
npm wsxxx....
"Could not be installed. Maybe your nodejs is outdated" or something like this.
apt-get purge nodejs
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get update / apt-get install nodejs
"This version of nodejs does not work with your system." or something alike...
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo -E bash -
apt-get update / apt-get install nodejs
npm wsxxx...
done.

I could not test if it works, but at least it got installed.

never heard about this again and it's still running for me with newer node-versions. Please ping to reopen if the problem still exists.
