Unable to install GUI, fails to build at "npm install"

loopyengineeringco commented 1 year ago

Hi guys

Unable to install the gui - tried now on my Raspbian machine, Mac laptop and Windows10 PC. Always fails at the the "npm install" stage.

npm version 9.5.1, node v18.16.1

Here's the traceback on windows:

Any ideas?

The errors seem to be python command related, is this because I'm on python3? Current npm requires python 3, it was throwing errors when I had only 2.7 installed. Is there a way to update these commands, or install older npm? Or maybe I'm barking up a wrong tree

I got it working 👏

tl/dr: it really does want python2, not 3.

Depending on how you install Node & npm, if it's from the official repo (https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases) it will always install Python3.11 (if you allow the additional helper script go ahead afterwards, which you probable need for the other dependencies). It'll install 3.11 even with a very old Node release, presumably it's fetching that version number from some online repo thats more up to date than the script. So I installed the oldest Node.js+npm possible (14.21.3), then uninstalled the Python3.11 that it bundled, and manually installed python2.7 from the official site🥵

It built and now runs!
