Hi heisters, I'm getting the following errors when trying to install this on the pi: I'm running a 'sudo npm install' command when inside the 'node-omxplayer-sync' library. am I doing something wrong? attaching the npm-debug.log

What version of Pi are you on?

yurikleb commented 8 years ago

I'm using Pi 2 Model B Linux pi02 4.4.11-v7+ #888 SMP Mon May 23 20:10:33 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Thanks!

Ok, that should work.

Looks like a permissions issue in how you're running npm? I wouldn't use sudo to call npm install because you're just installing the modules to the local directory, and your user account should have write access to that directory.

If you're up for it, I would recommend using ansible to install and manage node-omxplayer-sync. It will ensure you're doing everything in the expected way. If you're familiar with ansible, you can at least use it as a reference for how I've done things in the past.

Hey Heisters, Im trying to follow the instructions on the 'node-omxplayer-sync-devops' README, but they are bit confusing.

I'm using my Mac as the control machine so Ansible is running on it. Should I be installing Ansible on the Pies? My first guess is no?

Basically I got stuck in the 'USAGE' paragraph of your instructions:

git clone https://github.com/heisters/node-omxplayer-sync-devops.git should this be cloned to the control machine (Mac) only or the pies as well?

cd ansible-pi what is this folder?should I create it?

git checkout video-cluster I can't see this branch anywhere in your gits

Appreciate your help!

I Also tried running npm install without sudo as you suggested but just got a bunch of new errors npm-debug.txt

Hey, sorry I lost track of this issue. Are you still having trouble?

I guess the README for the ansible repo is out of date. I think this should work:

git clone https://github.com/heisters/node-omxplayer-sync-devops.git
cd node-omxplayer-sync-devops
cp hosts.example hosts
# etc.

If you want to try ansible, I suggest reading up on it a little bit. But yes, you have the right idea. You install ansible on your control machine (I use my laptop), clone the repo, edit the hosts file, and then run ansible and it uses SSH to install and configure everything on the pis listed in hosts.

It looks like npm is failing on installing pty.js, and I can't tell exactly why. What OS are you using? I think I was using Raspbian Jesse, but it's been a while since I've worked on this project. It could also be that you're using a different version of Node or NPM, and that's causing the issue.

Hey thanks! I ended up using oddroids + android os for the current project. but will give it another try if I go for pi+omx in the future! Thanks!
