issues starting

[jbarneson]

looking for help -- new to nodejs. When I run npm start, I get a dependency error.. appreciate any help. FWIW - I have dorita running and I was able to get the blid and pw for the rest980 config file..

:~/rest980 $ npm start

rest980@1.5.3 start /home/pi/rest980 node ./bin/www

sounds like you have a very old nodejs version. what version you have installed? ( 'node -v' )

v0.10.29 -- thanks for replying.. this is my first attempt at using nodejs, need to get up to speed. Appreciate the help.

dorita980 is compatible with node.js 4.0 to 7.0. to upgrade download the node.js 4 source code for your platform and compile:

cd source ./configure make sudo make install

in debian you need build-essential package instaled
