CLI error updating from 151 to 163

Joplin version 1.5.1 (same behaviour with 1.4.9)
Operating system Ubuntu 20.04

When I try to update my Joplin CLI the update brakes here:

After that the CLI is no more functional.

Any reason why "tessus" is in your home path? Did you maybe copy some example from @tessus? But in that case you should change the home path to yours.

not trying to hijack your thread but...
interesting command, how is this different from the one explained on the homepage?


NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.joplin-bin npm install -g joplin
sudo ln -s ~/.joplin-bin/bin/joplin /usr/bin/joplin


I'm trying to get the terminal version to work on a wsl2 myself, but stumble on errors.

Sorry, I read the thread "CLI error updating from 141 to 145" and got by accident his error text.
Now I updated my text (see above).
Please have a look at it.

Please also include the commands you ran.

I did use the following command:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm joplin

This worked fine to update from 1.3.3 to 1.4.9 and to update from 1.4.9 to 1.5.1.

Not the best idea to use unsafe-perm, as the name say it's probably not secure, and could still cause issues when you upgrade.

Npm permissions are not good by default for global packages. Instead you should try to set it up as described there: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally#manually-change-npms-default-directory

I did already set it up as described.
Nevertheless if I use the command
npm -g install joplin
I have the same result:

What I get is that the "Pre-built binaries not found for sqlite3@5.0.1 and node@10.23.1" and therefore a build of it is started but this fails.
But I do not get why it fails. The error message says "/bin/sh: 1: python: not found" but python does exist in my machine.

P.S. I am using Node.js version 10 (as I did interprete it fom the Joplin Termial application page) although there are already much more new versions up to version 15.
Which version should I use?

In between I did several additional tests.
First I installed a virtual machine with Ubuntu 20.10 were I did try to install the Joplin CLI 1.6.3.
I ended up with the same error message when the install of sqlite3@5.0.1 begins (see previous note).

Later I did install a virtual machine with Debian 10 and ther the installation of Joplin 1.6.3 did run through although I had the same remark that the "Pre-built binaries not found for sqlite3@5.0.1 and node@10.23.1". But here the compilation of sqlite3@5.0.1 run through.

So is there any hint what is going wrong with Ubuntu?

You need Node 12 at a minimum, so I'd start by checking that.

With my Ubuntu 20.10 setup I did use Node 14 LTS but I had the same error as with Ubuntu 20.04 and Node 10.
My Debian setup is with Node 14 LTS and works fine.
What I remember is that with installation of the previous Joplin CLI versions (1.3.3, 1.4.9 and 1.5.1) there were found pre-built binaries for sqlite3 in my Ubuntu installation but on my Raspberry Pi (Debian 10) sqlite3 was already built for previous Joplin CLI versions.

FYI have the same issue running on MacOS Catalina - very similar error reports on installation using Node 14.

Looks like some incompatibility after upgrading macOS, so you might want to delete your node_modules folders and rebuild.

Muh, tried reinstalling and installing a bunch of times. Removed node and reinstalled both the stable version and the new one. Tried it with homebrew and npm. Nothing can get this darn thing to install! TBH it's now just a point of principle as I rarely use the CLI app.

It's been reported that the app might not work with Node 15. I still need to check but there's a chance that's the reason and that with Node 14 it would work.

@laurent, so downgrading to 14 gives the first set of errors I reported, I've also tried v12 with the same results.

Here's a bit more detail from the beginning of the installation script I don't think I put on there:

There's a warning about the Pre-built binaries not found for sqlite3, don't know if that makes any difference.

Hmm, since when does the clang binary have a version number? Which toolchain are you using?

Also, these errors are related to sqlite3 and node-gyp. Please open a bug report with those packages.

Also still these errors: was built for newer OSX version (10.9) than being linked (10.7) so it looks like it's finding somewhere (who knows where with npm) an old binary which is not compatible with the latest macOS version.

To be honest I have no suggestion on what to do. Sometimes it's like each npm error is unique and needs to be solved per user so it's hard to give general advices. Of course, as a proper JS package, npm gives you the most non-sensical useless errors (and pages of them), so all you can do is poke in the dark till something works.

OK will have a look into these leads if time/energy permits.
