RBP4 unable to install the modul #9

Open HeyWatchOutDude opened 4 years ago

HeyWatchOutDude commented 4 years ago

Hey,

did someone tried to install it on a RBP4? Because im unable to install it ...

kjngineering commented 4 years ago

The answer is that there was a package dependency on node-hid@0.5.7 which will not compile on any recent version of node.js. This was updated in the git in 2019, but not the npm repository. The new dependency node-hid@^0.7.7 compiled fine on V12.16.2 as of today.

The old npm version can be worked around (although) not recommended by either of the following commands:

if you have git installed: npm install somebuddy87/node-red-contrib-usbhid

or if you do not have git installed: npm install --save -g https://github.com/somebuddy87/node-red-contrib-usbhid/tarball/master

ideally the npm repository should be updated.

good luck!

I suggest to use mine, follow the steps on the readme: npm install robertsLando/node-red-contrib-usbhid

Trying either of these two packages results in the same error. My system; node -v v10.16.3 npm -v 6.9.0

Is there anyway to install this package?

Here is the error;

` npm install robertsLando/node-red-contrib-usbhid

I had awful trouble installing this aswell. But I got this to work..... on a Pi4 https://www.reddit.com/r/nodered/comments/f9ut7u/usb_hid_module/fiweao5/

Follow it word for word.

Follow steps here: https://github.com/robertsLando/node-red-contrib-usbhid

thebaldgeek commented 4 years ago

Thanks all for reaching out.

@nksky following those instructions (word for word) results in the error '../hidapi/linux/hid.c:44:21: fatal error: libudev.h: No such file or directory' when 'sudo apt install libudev-dev' results in 'libudev0 is already the newest version (182-r9).' So no progress there.

@robertsLando there are no instructions on how to install the node on that page. Just instructions on how to use/configure the read/write access for non-root users.

@thebaldgeek Let me try it again on a fresh install on the Pi. I was trying so long that I may have installed something before running this script and that made it work. Give me a day on it.

Information:

The following worked for me:

"getHIDdevices" and "HIDdevice" is successful installed!
