Hi @arunpkumar92, thanks for this report. Could you give a few more details please? To start, what operating system are you running this on? Also, what Node version? And was there any other relevant logs in the output from before this error?

[arunpkumar92]

OS - Catalina
node - v12.13.1

Thanks for those bits, can you also let me know whether there were any other logs in the output from before the error?

Doesn't look like there's been any updates on this issue but I started getting this myself. Is it ok if I bump with included logs?

Thanks for the logs @SonsofKings. What version of Node.js are you installing this with?

[SonsofKings]

hey @philnash thanks for getting back to me, I'm running node 16.14.0

[philnash]

Huh, that's not it then.

The error you are getting says that it happened on line 14 of download.js which is where extract-zip is required.

Can you try to npm install extract-zip and just run a simple test where you require it (even in the REPL) on your raspberry pi and see what happens?

[philnash]

Hi @SonsofKings, were you able to look further into this?
