Installation failed with newest node version
Opened this issue · 6 comments
I try to install airsonos on my PI 2 on Stretch and node v.8.9.1
But I always get below error message:
fatal: could not create leading directories of '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-a694fbc7': Permission denied
Any ideas?
Have you tried putting sudo before whatever command gets that error?
yes. but nothing changes
Same issue for me
Was able to make progress by doing option 2 from here:
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
I can't speak towards changing the install directory or the using an installation manager mentioned in the link above. I had a working system on node.js 4.x I upgraded to 8.x. I was then unable to run airsonos due to errors about the nodetunes and nicercast modules being compiled against a different version of node.js. I used these commands to rebuild the modules on my system (raspPi 2):
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm nodetunes
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm nicercast
This built new modules. Then I had to move the modules inside of airsonos out of the way and symlink the newly built modules in place:
sudo mv /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/nodetunes/ /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/nodetunes_old
sudo mv /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/nicercast/ /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/nicercast_old
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/node_modules/nodetunes/ /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/node_modules/nicercast/ /usr/lib/node_modules/airsonos/node_modules/
that allowed me to start airsonos.
Actually, airsonos started however I was getting a key length error and airsonos would die. I additionally applied these patches and now have a working system:
