Plugin Installation not possible (homebridge-config-ui-x)

Issue

Setup a new homebridge (https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started). All plugins I wanted, were successfully installed. Plugin homebridge-hue not successful. Also tried 0.13.39 -> same error

It's a Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2. Reinstalled Node.js from https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/v16.15.1/ Everything is working fine but homebridge-hue installation.

Sorry, I have no clue. This is an issue with npm, not with the plugin. Did you check the mentioned debug file?

[cl4udiu5]

Tried to find the debug file but couldn't find it. Could you please help me with that?

[ebaauw]

The path is listed on screen. If it’s no longer there, I’d give it another try and look at it immediately after.

Tried something new...

Flashed SD card again and installed homebridge manually. https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Raspbian

After that installed Node.js again because I need arm6 compatible version.

wget https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/v16.15.1/node-v16.15.1-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
tar xf node-v16.15.1-linux-armv6l.tar.gz
sudo cp -R node-v16.15.1-linux-armv6l/* /usr/local

Restarted Pi, Homebridge started, everything is fine. Installed plugins with no issues (Harmony, Samsung Tizen,...). Tried to install homebridge-hue Plugin - same error

What does the npm log say?

Solved the problem by opening console in Homebridge UI and then installed the plugin with:

hb-service add homebridge-hue

After reboot the plugin was available and ready to configure. Hopefully I can update it in the future.
