Raspberry Pi install failed

Russ

@Antonio36996, can you send me the output of this command?

dpkg -i triggercmdagent_1.0.1_all.deb

Also, please try an uninstall and re-install like this:

systemctl stop triggercmdagent
/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/removedaemon.sh
apt remove triggercmdagent
dpkg -i triggercmdagent_1.0.1_all.deb
triggercmdagent
(CTRL-C)
/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

I tried a fresh install using setup.bat with this method and it worked.

I also tried installing using the original method after a fresh Raspbian install and that worked for me too.

EDIT: Another idea - please try this and let me know what you see.

cd /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app
npm install

Antonio36996

This is the output, thanks

@Antonio36996, something went wrong with the installation. This could be tricky to fix. I noticed this command didn't even give you any output. Not even an error:

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app $ npm install

I also noticed you're doing all of this as the pi user. The instructions have you switch to the root user with sudo su -

I recommend trying those steps again as root, and add this command after the apt remove command:

rm -rf /usr/share/triggercmdagent

If that doesn't work, I recommend starting over with a fresh Raspbian installation. The new method using setup.bat is the easiest, but it assumes you're using a Windows computer. It also installs the agent for you.

@Russ Thanks for answering, I can't reinstall raspbian again because I have other services like pihole, pivpn...
At the beginning I could execute triggercmdagent and asked me to enter the token, however as the apt upgrade still being saying that wasn't successful I reinstalled it, and since that didn't work.
This is my output using su

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo su -
root@raspberrypi:~# apt remove triggercmdagent

@Antonio36996, I'm sorry about this trouble. Unfortunately the output isn't giving my much info to go on. Here's another idea you could try:

sudo su -
apt remove triggercmdagent
rm -rf /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app
mkdir /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app
cd /usr/share/triggercmdagent/app
git clone https://github.com/rvmey/TRIGGERcmd-Agent.git
/usr/share/triggercmdagent/app/src/installdaemon.sh

Antonio36996

@Russ Does not work, thank you anyways!

Antonio36996

Finnaly I solved it!!! As I was getting errors since I started, I decided to install node, which broke my nodejs installation, I found the answer here.
I removed the package node and everything went perfect! Thank you so much!

Russ

@Antonio36996, nice job! I'm glad you got it working.

@Russ I have a problem and I don't know what I'm doing wrong - I always have your default configuration file. I even tried to remove and install.

Maybe you have any idea? Thanks!

@Radosław-Szałkowski, from that output it looks like the background service installation worked.

Can you show me the output of this command?

systemctl status triggercmdagent
