Trouble with fresh installation

@jbs Did you use the test version of the frontend from ppm or the GitHub version?

The GitHub version:

@jbs You might guess it: Try the npm version as described in my instructions. I have never tried to install the frontend from GitHub using ppm, so this might be the problem. As I can’t test from here, so i am just guessing.

Doesn’t fix the problem. Can not login with Chrome, Firefox, IE or Edge. But, I am able to login with my mobile using Chrome

Clean your cache for the side in chrome.

Firefox:

Chrome:

hi there,
for me the same - new Rpi3B+, latest NOOB and Raspbian from scratch. I’ve tried to install 0.9.43 and it ended up with the same Warns and Errors. When i finally try to start it always ends with: Pidfile exists, but process is dead.
i’ve tried to install the 0.9.44-a as described here but all the same…

but why the hell the ‘stable’ version ends up like that???

Thanks

For all who still struggle with installing the test version, I’ve created a small script which basically follows my instructions. It installs to the directory pimatic-test and it sets the pimatic password to admin and the port to 8080. I did test this on my Mac, but it should also work on your raspberry.
Please don’t forget to make it executable: chmod +x install-pimatic.sh, before running.

#!/bin/sh
INSTALL_DIR=pimatic-test
PIMATIC_DIR=$INSTALL_DIR/node_modules/pimatic

mkdir ${INSTALL_DIR}
npm install pimatic-mobile-frontend@test --prefix ${INSTALL_DIR}
sed -i -e 's/"pimatic": "0\.9\.\*"//g' ${INSTALL_DIR}/node_modules/pimatic-mobile-frontend/package.json

npm install pimatic@test --prefix ${INSTALL_DIR} --production
sed -i -e 's/0\.9\.44-a/0.9.44/g' ${PIMATIC_DIR}/package.json

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimatic/pimatic/master/ppm.js
chmod +x ppm.js
mv ppm.js ${PIMATIC_DIR}/ppm.js

cp ${PIMATIC_DIR}/config_default.json ${INSTALL_DIR}/config.json
sed -i -e 's/"port": 80/"port": 8080/g' ${INSTALL_DIR}/config.json
sed -i -e 's/"password": ""/"password": "admin"/g' ${INSTALL_DIR}/config.json

After running you should be able to run pimatic with sudo node node_modules/pimatic/pimatic.js as usual. If this works for you you can also use your own config.json. This script uses the default config.

@michbeck100
Sorry, was messing the the version numbers in my previous post.
I am not sure from which directory I have to run the commands like

$ rm -r node_modules
$ npm install pimatic@test
$ npm install pimatic-mobile-frontend@test

All from /pimatic-app?

Also a fresh install with this test version will not start: /usr/bin/env: ‘node\r’: not found.

The file is saved with dos newline rules.
Use:
dos2unix node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js

Also posted here https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/4501/pimatic-0-9-44a-test-results my working version (with some additional monules I needed):

cd ~
mkdir pimatic-test && cd pimatic-test
cp ../pimatic-app/config.json config.json
npm install pimatic-ping@0.9.5
npm install pimatic-sysinfo@0.9.4
npm install bluetooth-hci-socket
npm install pimatic-mobile-frontend@test
npm install pimatic@test
chmod 755 node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js
dos2unix node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js
sudo node node_modules/pimatic/pimatic.js
