I've tried multiple versions of node.js (10, 12, 14) and all of them throw the following errors when you run "npm install":

319 verbose stack Error: spawn git ENOENT
319 verbose stack     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:267:19)

330 error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

As a result, it never works (no web ui on specified ports) even tho the next few steps appear to complete successfully. Im running my install as root (sudo -i).

Stupid question. Do you have git installed? That was my issue.

I dont believe so:

root@Enterprise:~# git --version

Command 'git' not found, but can be installed with:

apt install git

Looking at the current package file:

{
  "name": "alexa-cookie-node",
  "version": "0.1.2",
  "description": "AlexaCookieNodeJs",
  "main": "AlexaCookie.js",
  "author": "",
  "dependencies": {
    "alexa-cookie2": "github:Apollon77/alexa-cookie",
    "body-parser": "^1.18.3",
    "cookie": "^0.3.1",
    "express": "^4.16.4",
    "http": "0.0.0",
    "http-proxy-middleware": "^0.19.1",
    "http-proxy-response-rewrite": "0.0.1",
    "linkifyjs": "^2.1.7",
    "querystring": "^0.2.0",
    "socket.io": "^2.2.0",
    "uuid": "^3.3.2"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "license": "Apache-2.0"
}

this appears to be the culprit. I'm going to try replacing it with:

https://github.com/Apollon77/alexa-cookie

Ok the above URL didnt change the outcome:

Ok, to rule out my Ubuntu server as the issue, I've run this on my Synology NAS and got the exact same issues. I used both the options described above with the same result:

github:Apollon77/alexa-cookie
https://github.com/Apollon77/alexa-cookie

I copied the alexa-cookie folder into my AlexaCookie Node JS folder and change the line:

"alexa-cookie2": "github:Apollon77/alexa-cookie",

to

"alexa-cookie2": "/volume/alexa/AlexaCookie/alexa-cookie",

and it finally worked on node.js v12 on my NAS.

i also had to add the following line to AlexaCookie.js to support Australia:

<input type="radio" name="amazonSite" value="alexa.amazon.com.au|en-AU"> Australia<br>

@dJOS1475 I was going down a very similar path, but your local alexa-cookie path saved me! Thank you!!
