Error with node generate token

[Alcor17]

Hi. I'm noob with Magic Mirror and the eith MMM-GooglePhotos module. Now I'm trying to install this new version of MMM-GooglePhotos but when I execute the instruction at the terminal node generate_token.js Show the errors below: `internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'open' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:636:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:562:25) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:692:17) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:25:18) at Object.

The version of node (node -v) is 10.19.0

Thanks for your help in advance

Have you done npm install in modules directory?

[Alcor17]

Yes, I followed the instructions of installation

git clone https://github.com/eouia/MMM-GooglePhotos.git cd MMM-GooglePhotos npm install

[eouia]

Is there no error on installation? (npm install) Anyway go to MMM-GooglePhotos then do npm install --save open.

How about your permission? Did you use sudo on installation of this module or MagicMirror? test ls -al in MMM-GooglePhotos directory.

[Alcor17]

Thanks eouia, solved it with sudo as you said.

[eouia]

No. sudo is not the solution, rather being the reason of current and further messing. Probably you've installed MM or some modules(incl. MMM-GooglePhotos) with sudo, And it will make whole system mess up. Installation and usage of MM and modules don't need sudo at all unless instruction specially say it.

My suggestion.

• Delete whole MM, and reinstall again and DO NOT USE sudo on installation. (except sudo apt-get somethings)

[Alcor17]

HEllo.

Not, only I installed MMM-GooglePhotos with sudo as you suggested.

You mean that I deleted Magic Mirror with modules included and again install it, right?

[eouia]

If you are sure only MMM-GooglePhotos by sudo, reinstalling that module is enough. But I'm worrying you have mistaken other modules or MM itself.

[Alcor17]

OK, I will reinstall all the MM modules again, but first I'll backup the config.js

[Alcor17]

Well, I uninstalled the modules and Magic Mirror, after I installed them again, but I have the same issue afresh. Not errors showed in the installation with npm install executed at MMM-GooglePhotos folder. I haven't used sudo instruction. Only I've installed other module and it works fine (MMM-Lunartic).

[eouia]

Sorry, Definitely it is permission issue. some modules might be abled to be installed and used even with whichever permission, but that is lucky case. Basically, without proper permission, your MM and my module will have possible further issue. And I can't help about that kind of things.

[eouia]

Check each directory (including MM itself) which permission have been set. All your MM directory should have permission as owner pi user.

[Alcor17]

Finally I could create the generate_token.js but I don't know how. Now I'm trying show the module in my Magic Mirror with position "fullscreen_below", only it shows me the "Loading..." message. Very grateful with your help.

[eouia]

set debug:true, and see the log what happened. How many photos are in your album? first scanning will take dozens seconds.

[Alcor17]

I got it! It was error mine. I changed the name of the folder to show, I wrote it with uppercase. Thank you again. Great job eouia!
