Cannot install Error: [email protected] #43

justinrhodes · 2018-11-25T20:44:06Z

I was trying to get this plugin installed on my home bridge docker, but I am hitting some issues with installing sodium. I am using the oznu home bridge docker and this is my startup.sh

apk add libtool
apk add autoconf
apk add automake
apk add libsodium
apk add g++
npm rebuild

I ran into the same problem on Ubuntu 18.0.3. The 2.0.3 dependency come from a dependency of this project which is node-apple-tv. I have not figured out a workaround.

dornadeluxe · 2018-11-27T19:05:22Z

I have the same problem on my Banana PI M2 Berry with Raspbian Strech. So far, haven't found a solution.

reiterbene · 2018-11-27T20:41:31Z

same problem here

justinrhodes · 2018-11-27T20:44:00Z

Maybe @lprhodes can give some advice on this one.

I know the issue lies with trying to install node-apple-tv plugin to Homebridge, so maybe I can create an issue there as well. I was trying to troubleshoot this past weekend, but just kept seeing the same error with multiple "fix attempts"

justinrhodes · 2018-11-28T05:45:41Z

Based on the logs, I'm guessing something is going on with the directories it is looking for in node_modules

8623 warn rollback Rolling back [email protected] failed (this is probably harmless): ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/homebridge/node_modules/node-appletv/node_modules/sodium'

dornadeluxe · 2018-12-02T17:10:02Z

Is the developer still active? Or did anyone else achieve any progress?

justinrhodes · 2018-12-03T02:28:21Z

Does not look like he has been active for a few months :(

I'll try to dig in deeper and figure out what is going on. If anyone else figures this out, please share.

Screenfeed · 2018-12-05T19:34:31Z

Same issue here.

chimai · 2018-12-19T20:51:11Z

Same for me, can't install

pponce · 2018-12-19T22:41:57Z

try pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

chimai · 2018-12-20T10:31:54Z

try pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

Tried to install from this package, got the same problem with for bot global and local types of installation:
Static libsodium was not found at /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-77f03c40/node_modules/sodium/deps/build/lib/libsodium so compiling libsodium from source.

Alcor72 · 2018-12-20T17:51:26Z

Same here on a Synology NAS (node.js v10.13)...

pponce · 2018-12-20T19:14:18Z

My change in pponce/homebridge-apple-tv
was to make homebridge-apple-tv depend on a fork of node-appletv (https://github.com/socalrds/node-appletv).
That forked version of node-appletv updates its dependency to sodium 3.0.1 which in theory solves the build issue with sodium version 2.0.3.
I'm running on an rpi 3 with LTS 10.14.2 version of node js.

After you received this error:
Static libsodium was not found at /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-77f03c40/node_modules/sodium/deps/build/lib/libsodium so compiling libsodium from source.
Was it able to compile libsodium from source?

Can you try
apt-get install autoconf automake g++ libtool
prior to installing pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

t0xicfume · 2018-12-21T05:54:26Z

try pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

Sorry, I'm new, how do i specifically install from pponce/? All the homebridge plugins I've installed so far I use npm install -f <plugin-name>, so how do I install this one? Thanks.

pponce · 2018-12-21T16:09:30Z

npm install -g git+https://[email protected]/pponce/homebridge-apple-tv.git
but i think this should work as well
npm install -g pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

Alcor72 · 2018-12-21T17:23:29Z

sorry but I only use docker command line (via sh command).
if I write "sudo apt-get install libtool"... I only get
"sh : sudo: not found"...
As you can see I am new to this world...

Can you try
apt-get install autoconf automake g++ libtool
prior to installing pponce/homebridge-apple-tv

Thanks a lot, got it installed like that. Now I ran into the next problem however. :) My apple-tv is discovered twice which is also an open issue here. Tried to add it manually but for this I need to install node-appletv which again wants to install Sodium 2.0.3...

pponce · 2018-12-23T16:29:53Z

@dornadeluxe Can you find where the homebridge-appletv plugin was installed?
In my case it's installed in:
/home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v10.14.2/lib/node_modules/homebridge-apple-tv

If you navigate to where it was installed and then run:
cd node_modules/node-appletv/bin

You should then be able to run the pair command by executing this command
./appletv pair

You should see two apple tv’s appear. Select the second one in the list to pair with.
Follow instructions and copy the full key that is returned as you will need it to update your config.js for the homebridge-appletv plugin.
Also add "showPairSwitches": false in the config.json for this plugin.

You should then be paired already and the plugin should auto find your Apple TV still.
That solved my issues.

dornadeluxe · 2018-12-23T22:27:46Z

Another step further, thanks a lot pponce! I ran the pair process and copied the credentials and put everything in the config.js. So far so good but homebridge still is not willing to start. This is what I get now:

I deleted the accessories folder and tried again and now it works, hallelujah! :) Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas!

Glad you figured that last one out. I was stumped..
Merry Christmas!

TommyCardello · 2018-12-26T06:38:19Z

@dornadeluxe
Hi there,

I had the same issue with "./accessories" module.
As you did, I deleted the accessories folder.

That didn't help.
Here's what I did:

I checked the original repo, folder "accessories". I manually created all 4 .js files on the same folder on my raspberry and copied the code from original repo. It worked for me. Now works perfectly.

t0xicfume · 2018-12-26T20:39:41Z

Yes I already did sudo apt-get install autoconf automake g++ libtool before install and that's what I get... To be very sure, i just ran that command again, followed by the npm install command again, and i get the same error.. as below. Help?

I am having similar issues with sodium as well -- can anyone assist me?

Currently running node: 11.6.0, raspberry 3

Installed plugin successfully using: sudo npm install -g homebridge-apple-tv --unsafe-perm

When I attempt to run homebridge, I receive the following error. Also, I am attempting to run this plugin with the Nest plugin (which is active and working).

How did you achieve installing? what commands did you use? i installed sodium 3 and still had problems installing.

poudenes · 2019-02-17T08:50:47Z

@nibty how did you do it. I read article but its for MacOs. im running on Rasbian Stretch Last build.

mkormendy · 2019-02-28T17:38:13Z

For anyone who doesn't want to wait for @lprhodes to update his repo, you can install GioCirque's cloned and fixed version with the following command:

npm install -g -save git+https://github.com/GioCirque/homebridge-apple-tv.git

NOTE: if @lprhodes ends up updating his repo and homebridge plugin, and if @GioCirque doesn't continue to maintain his package, you won't see any upgrades and miss out on new features should there be any.

poudenes · 2019-02-28T19:36:35Z

@mkormendy @GioCirque thanks. Lets try this one then. :) Its Better then nothing!

I don't have a raspberrypi to try this on. I'd suggest using the --unsafe-perm argument, and be sure the there are two dashes in the --save argument.

npm install -g --save --unsafe-perm git+https://github.com/GioCirque/homebridge-apple-tv.git

aveach · 2019-03-22T18:03:18Z

I got this repo to install last night after initially having this issue with sodium.

I manually installed automake and sodium and apt-get libtool then retried this install via homebridge-config-ui-x. I believe that's what fixed it, since it will see the latest install of sodium already on device and skip over it.

normen · 2019-04-02T22:46:01Z

Yeah, just install libsodium before installing the plugin

NorthernMan54 · 2019-04-06T12:42:51Z

Wow, @GioCirque after almost an hour on my PI it finally worked, tks

omriavital · 2019-04-14T21:13:29Z

What worked for me

So, after a long (long) night with the infamous error "Failed at the [email protected] preinstall script" - I was finally able to get this plugin up and running (works very nice)

I don't know exactly what I did that made the trick, I must be honest. But in order to (maybe) help others that come here, I decided to go back to the logs, extract (most of) my "sudo" commands, and list them here. Listed in brackets are outputs worth mentioning:

Afer installation, worth mentioning, I didn't see any switch to pair my AppleTV in the home app...

I needed to do the following sequence:

(** worth mentioning: this is the location in my case where the plugin was installed... pi zero)
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-apple-tv $ cd node_modules/node-appletv/bin

? Enter the 4-digit pin that's currently being displayed on Living Room 6856

Then, I received the credential, copied it, and added it as part of this block that I added to config.json:

"platform": "AppleTV",
            "name": "Omri's Apple TV",
            "showDefaultSwitches": true,
            "defaultSwitchesIncludeATVName": true,
            "showPairSwitches": false,
            "hideWelcomeMessage": true,
            "devices": [
                {
                    "id": "Omris",
                    "name": "Omris Apple TV",
                    "credentials": "pasted-credentials-here"
                }
            ],
            "accessories": [
                {
                    "deviceID": "Omris",
                    "name": "Rainbow",
                    "command": []
                }

Good luck guys!

Okay. So I had to follow the "standard" process (install automake, libtool and sodium etc. before installing the plugin) and ALSO downgrade to NodeJS V8. Using the NodeJS 8 version (8.16.0) fixed my problem!

@omriavital which AppleTV generation are you working with? Cause everything is working now but ./appletv pair tells me No Apple TVs found on the network. Try again.

@marius-se

Here the same excact problem. Before it was working fine here. My first install six months ago was not easy, same problems as everyone else (sodium 2.0.3). But in the end I got it working just fine!

Then I decided (now i do regret that) because of some version (node, hue) "warnings
" to try updating homebridge, homebridge-heu to newer version. It still worked fine but it seemed the newest plugin and versions did/could not load because of the older plugin was allreay loaded.It still worked but i decided tot try to repair that without succes.

In the end I decided to start from scratch, new DebianOS, new homebridge-install, the works...
The second time the installation of all went a lot faster because of the previous experiance.

But then: Same error

No Apple TVs found on the network. Try again.

Same network, same AppleTV, same Pi, same Hue Hub....
Apple TV has IP 192.182.1.13, Pi has ip 192.168.1.14. Both work fine on the netwerk (with cable).
I have done the installation and Apple TV pair via ssh.

Somebody an idea where to search for the solution?

goemangrunn · 2019-09-15T07:26:32Z

Could the problem be that the plugins and homebridge are on different locations?

The same problem seemed to be with the version updates.

Apple TV Pair is located in this folder:

~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.16.3/lib/node_modules/homebridge-apple-tv/node_modules/node-appletv/bin $ ./appletv pair

No Apple TVs found on the network. Try again.

But in previous posts I see it should be located in:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules $ cd homebridge-apple-tv
-bash: cd: homebridge-apple-tv: Bestand of map bestaat niet

But there seems to be no such folder. Is this a node version problem, should I degrade my node version? Hue wants this version...10.6.3

adidoes · 2019-12-07T17:53:43Z

For people still running into this, you must use node version 8. It's the only thing that worked for me.

seackone · 2019-12-19T18:59:42Z

Is there any other chance to get this plugin running except of downgrading node? I have a lot of other plugins installed and i dont want to run in more issues after a downgrade..

omriavitals workaround didnt worked for me.

Keep getting this error when trying to install it on my Homebridge Docker on Synology install.

I went ahead and installed Sodium via npm install -g libsodium which installed fine but trying to install homebridge-apple-tv keeps giving me this error. =(

Thanks in advance!
