New to linux and don’t know how to fix.
Please help
Looks like you’re using node 18. I think you may need to use 14, that’s what I’m using.
How do I do that? When I run the cmd to set the version I get:
drmedic@minecraft:/$ sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
##. Installing the NodeSource Node.js 14.x repo…
##. Populating apt-get cache…
+. apt-get update
Reading package lists… Done
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)
Error executing command, exiting
drmedic@minecraft:/$
(put periods to stop formating)
I don’t think the sudo is being respected after the pipe. Try changing the bash bit to have sudo as well.

That worked but is still installing node v18.7.0
Edit: I did uninstall and verify it was uninstalled be for reinstalling
The first command ran shows that the curl and bash command worked
Then I did the install
At the end I verified the version and it says v18.7.0
Try and install nvm (node version manager) then you can switch fairly easily.
And sudo npm install doesn’t work
So fixed the npm install by changing the permissions on /minecraft and got it installed and everything ran correctly untill I tried to start mineos and got:
drmedic@minecraft:/usr/games/minecraft$ systemctl start mineos

Pretty sure usr/games/minecraft should be owned by root:root, change it back if you modified it.
Then sudo npm install —unsafe-perm (check that argument) in that folder, you might not need to do that bit.
Then try and start mineos.
Don’t change things from the guide.
I did what you said and I got an error saying I am missing passport but it’s not allowing me to install it, when I try and do it with sudo npm it say that npm is not a valid command.
I then tried to run mineos to see if it would run anyways and I got a different error:
Delete /usr/games/minecraft
To start over.
Run the guide commands as root - before running the commands do
sudo su
This will have you in terminal as root.
Then install nvm, use nvm to install node 14 - ensure you can run node and its the correct version.
node —version
Once node 14 is installed and working goto /var/games and git clone mineos to minecraft folder and continue the rest of the guide, all done in the root terminal.
I did that and I’m using node v14.21.1, and still getting same error:
So, something I’ve come across (possibly if using nvm) is node not in the correct location for the service.
I think it needs to be accessible in /usr/bin/node
If you type
which node
If it’s not /usr/bin/node you’ll need to create a symlink or something.
Another test method is to go to /var/games/minecraft and execute
node webui.js
If it runs it means it’s more likely the service can’t properly run and likely to be the node location.
Yes that worked it was in /root/.nvm/versions/node/v14.21.1/bin/node
and I had to create a symlink into /usr/bin/node and that fixed it perfectly
Hi, I am very new to linux as well (started today), I don’t know how to make a symlink, I need to do the exact same process as you. I looked up and tried some ways but whenever I use which node I get the same location.
I got this after literally hard linking the proper node version to /usr/bin/node, it was doing this with symlink too so I guess it didn’t make a difference:
diskusage@1.1.3 install /usr/games/minecraft/node_modules/diskusage

Need to use the unsafe-perm option - should see it on the github page readme
Ok, thank you so much! MineOS is finally running!
