NPM error for installing dependencies on Raspberry Pi 4

I ran into a few errors related to npm when I installed dependencies on a brand-new Raspberry Pi 4 by following steps on “Raspberry Pi 4 - Edge Impulse Documentation”.

  • First, the installation for nodejs does not trigger a npm installation automatically, which is needed on the later part of this script. (I fixed it by manually install npm via “sudo apt install npm”)
  • Second, the “npm config set user root” is outdated. “user” is not a valid key for npm config any more.
  • Third, I got quiet a few warnings from npm when I install edge-impulse-linux as the last part of this script, which should be fixed.

Overall the script works fine for me. I recommend to fix the npm issues to improve the user experience.
