trying to install CNCjs and failing

[cchisholm]

I've had very limited exposure to Linux and now I find that I need help. I am trying to get a Rp2 setup to run CNCjs to control a tinyG and a small CNC i;ve built. Problem is, what I once new seems to left my memory.

I got NodesJs installed (I think - not sure how to make sure it's there and working) and now I need to get CNCjs installed. The instructions ive found seem to rely on npm and that does not seem to have installed with nodesjs. Please ask me what ever questions might make this a bit clearer.

When I ran git clone https:'//github.com/cncjs/cncjs.git, it seeme to do ok (didn't report an error) but now I am lost. I don't know how to run it or even if I have done all I need to do to install it.

Open an LXTerminal window.
Type
npm install -g cncjs
press [ENTER]
Wait.
Be amazed.
Profit.

Yes, I have tried that. Several times in fact. I've attached the screen output from the last effort.

Seems that the first thing that probably indicates an error are the lines....

Code: Select all

"cncjs"
npm ERR! node v4.8.7
npm ERR! npm  v2.15.11
npm ERR! code EPEERINVALID

Is that telling me that npm and nodes are incompatable versions?
Also the lines beginning with ...

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot find module '../dist/cnc/cnc'

Is there something else that I should have loaded?

Any direction would be much appreciated.
Charlie

Are my questions to vague, too difficult, or not appropriate for this forum? I’m pulling my hair out and I don’t know how to get a response.

Maybe it is prudent to start again with a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch ??

I believe you are right. I don't know anything about "stretch", so I will probobly start with NOOBs as I usually do. I did download stretch as well, but unless I will be missing out on something, I will probably stick with what I have a bit of experience with.

Thank you for making me re-think this. I had thought about starting over but it took someone else suggesting it to push me over the edge.
