I am using your Cool Automation app for home bridge. I first tried installing on my iMac and it worked perfectly. Now trying to replicate the build on my Synology NAS and am facing an issue when installing. Please see the error codes below:

Please let me know where I’m going wrong. I tried adding “--unsafe-perm=true --allow-root” at the end of sudo npm install -g homebridge-cool-automation but to no avail.

Thanks in advanced for building this great plugin and assisting me.

I think that the issue is coming from the user running homebridge not having permissions to file system

@nitaybz , Hello!

I have the same issue on raspberry. user homebridge have access to its working dir

root@raspberrypi:/var/lib/homebridge# ls -la drwxrwxr-x 4 homebridge root 4096 лип 13 16:54 . drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 4096 лип 13 15:32 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 homebridge homebridge 4096 чер 29 14:00 accessories -rw-r--r-- 1 homebridge root 498 лип 13 16:53 config.json -rw-r--r-- 1 homebridge root 1255 лип 13 16:50 config.json.telnet drwxr-xr-x 2 homebridge homebridge 4096 чер 29 13:58 persist root@raspberrypi:/var/lib/homebridge#

where exactly is the plugin trying to create the directory 'log' ? (Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir 'log')

probably coming from the tcp-client library I was using... I uploaded a new version 1.0.0 using native nodejs library that should not create this issue
