in Setup section, it mentioned :

"2. Open a terminal on your Homebridge system, either using ssh or by using the Homebridge Terminal located in the ⋮ menu, top-right in the Homebridge UI." -> it is mentioned on top of Homebridge Terminal : Note: This is a restricted shell, sudo and npm cannot be used here

Next, "3. Change into the directory where the plugin is installed: cd $(npm root -g)/homebridge-roomba2" -> my Terminal says : -bash: cd: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2: No such file or directory

Next, "4. Type sudo npm run getrobotpwd <IP ADDRESS> (replacing with the IP address you discovered above)." -> wherever I enter this command, I still have tons of errors about files location. I tried to run this command in each folder or folder alias I've found in the system in /var/lib/homebridge such as

/var/lib/homebridge/node_modules/.pnpm/homebridge-roomba2@1.3.1/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2

I am using Raspberry Pi OS up to date of course.

OMG that's not very simple! I spent couple hours on that. Nowhere it is explained that I had to install npm btw

I f anyone could help to fix my problem, it would be very appreciated.
