Plugin Installation Failing (using npm) #82

Closed 0verrfl0w closed 7 years ago

Hello all,

I tried to install the homeduino plugin, which did not work, on a fresh pimatic install. But for some reason it kept failing at node-gyp and serialport@2.0.6.

Installing the plugin from github also did not achieve a working result. Also I found out, that homeduino@0.0.65 is not available at npm yet, as specified in the package.json.

Attached the npm output:


13298 error argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "pimatic-homeduino" "--unsafe-perm"
13299 error node v7.7.4

You have the wrong version of nodejs & npm installed! Unfortunately, pimatic only supports nodejs 4.x along with npm v2 which is included with nodejs 4.x. See also https://pimatic.org/guide/getting-started/installation/

Please also consider using our user forum https://forum.pimatic.org/ for trouble shooting as this is backed by a large user base and you'll usually get speedy response while github is only tracked by a few devs.

Note beyond, the current version of pimatic-homeduino uses homeduino@0.0.63. You have probably checked the dependency specs on master which are ahead of the release.


pimatic-homeduino@0.9.11 pimatic-homeduino
└── homeduino@0.0.63 (otaat-repl@1.0.2, bluebird@2.9.34, rfcontroljs@0.0.58, serialport@2.0.6)

Thank for the quick response. I was unaware that pimatic would not work reliably with a higher version of node and therefore fail here. Personally I am not a NodeJS expert. Thank you for the explanations!
