Update nest-cam2 -> nest-cam is not possible

[nejcklinc]

Description Since nest-cam2 was deprecated I tried to update to nest-cam.

1. If I run npm -g uninstall homebridge-nest-cam2 && npm -g install homebridge-nest-cam I get insufficient rights error.
2. If I run sudo npm -g uninstall homebridge-nest-cam2 && sudo npm -g install homebridge-nest-cam I get:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
Command failed with exit code 100: apt-get update
npm WARN puppeteer-extra@3.1.15 requires a peer of puppeteer@* but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

2. If I install nest-cam from plugins than I get error:

Error: The requested platform 'Nest-cam' has been registered multiple times. Please be more specific by writing one of: homebridge-nest-cam.Nest-cam, homebridge-nest-cam2.Nest-cam

So my question is how to uninstall nest-cam2 since there is no uninstall button in hoobs.

Solution:

1. in the HOOBS terminal paste this command to edit the package.json file:

nano /home/hoobs/.hoobs/package.json

2. Navigate using your arrows and delete the entire line containing the chamberlain plugin in the dependencies object.

"nest-cam2": "plugin version"

3. Save the file with ctrl + S then exit the editor with ctrl + x

4. Run this command to fix dependencies

npm install

5. The plugin will be gone after that.

HOOBS doesn't recognize globally installed plugins the -g flag should never be used. Also sudo should not be used either.

@nejcklinc solution is correct. There are root locked files in the HOOBS plugin folder.

Another solution is to delete the node_modules and reinstall the plugins

cd ~/.hoobs && sudo rm -fR ./node_modules && npm install
