After Node.js Upgrade, pimatic wont install

---

I have a raspi3 with Pimatic running und want upgrade the node.js from 4. to 10.
I read the Node.js Upgrade guide at https://pimatic.teamemo.com/Guide/Getting-Started and followed the steps to remove pimatic&node.js, install node.js 10.16.3 and “node --version” tells me I’m an 10.16.3.
Now I want to install Pimatic and I get this Error:

sudo npm install pimatic --prefix pimatic-app --production
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npmlog/log.js:57
log.progressEnabled = log.gauge.isEnabled()
                                ^

TypeError: log.gauge.isEnabled is not a function

Someone can help me?

@linuxdoc i did a test on my rpi with node 10.16.3 on a rpi. Installed mqtt 0.9.13 without issues and added a mqttswitch also without problems. Im running npm 6.12.1.
What npm version are you on? Because it seems that npm is having problems.
Why do you use ‘sudo’ before for the install?

@bertreb
OK, now I removed /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and reinstalled node.js, now it works.

Thats good news!
