Instructions for ARMv6 node install are outdated #130

Closed lafiosca closed 4 years ago

lafiosca commented 4 years ago

Hello. I didn't know if it would be acceptable to try to edit the wiki page directly out of the blue, so I thought I'd open an issue about this instead. I am setting up an old Pi (1) Model B I had lying around, and I was following your node installation instructions from the wiki page:

https://github.com/nebrius/raspi-io/wiki/Getting-a-Raspberry-Pi-ready-for-NodeBots

When I went to the node downloads page, I found that the LTS no longer provides an ARMv6 download. I had to find the node 10.x binary listing here to get an ARMv6 version: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/

Additionally there is a typo of "you're version" instead of "your version" in the warning at the end of that section.

Thank you!

Thanks for noticing the discrepancy and the typo! I'll go and edit the wiki page, since I believe it's locked down so that only project collaborators can edit, and GitHub sadly doesn't support pull requests on wikis.

FYI there are still unofficial builds created by the Node.js project at https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/ where you can download Node.js 12, 13, and 14 for ARMv6.

And done. Thanks for writing in!

@nebrius I wasn't sure if the wiki was locked down because it shows me an edit button and allows me to navigate to the edit form. I was afraid to hit the Save button and test 😅

Oh interesting, turns out I hadn't locked down editing the wiki. Thanks for letting me know!
