sorry for the late reply... hmmm i think there are 3 things to try

delete node_modules and try again.

become root then do the first suggestion again

chmod -R 777 /home/ni-admin/Shinobi/ and do the first suggestion again

not helped

i think the fix found was doing this npm --unsafe-perm install [email protected] if you can't get it to install easily.

I just had the same permission problem with [email protected] install

Tried making the missing directory manually, and running chown and chmod, no success.

I did sudo su to login as root, and then run:
sudo npm install [email protected]

It then installed with no errors.

A poster on superuser had a similar permission issues with another npm install
I told him to login as root with sudo su, and it did the trick for him aswell.
Is npm the bad guy here?

Sooo... is the plugin fixed to run with Cairo 2? Could someone tell me what commands I need to install motion detection on OS X via Brew? Looking at the motion detection docs page, and with what I know about Brew/OS X so far, i would assume the installation command appears to be:

brew install cairo

then

sudo npm install [email protected] moment

etc. But what's the different between sudo npm install [email protected] moment and sudo npm install [email protected] per @pamo above? Again, I'm running OS X and Brew, so some stuff may be different...

@BarnaM7 please do pm2 flush && pm2 restart all && pm2 logs then paste the contents of the output please. it seems its only show the last 15 lines of the error.

also sorry for the late response

I have found the issue. I have tried to install it to freenas jail, but I have met a zlib error, which is version specific and there is not real solution for that at this moment.
So I have installed it on a debian vm, everything was quick and perfect.
But I'm fighting to set the sensitivity of motion detection which is not to easy.

Am I correct ?
Indifference: number of pixel changes
Full Frame Detection: use the full picture or only the region for comparative
Show Regions of Interest: ?
Send Frames: yes, this is necessary for motion plugin
Show Regions of Interest: ?
Allow Next Trigger: ?
Timeout Reset on Next Motion: ?
Allow Next Trigger: ?

thanks

Indifference: number of pixel changes
yes and no. It's a mash of different values. Honestly I don't know exactly what it's doing. It is a method developed by soundstep. I use it because it's really fast.

Full Frame Detection: use the full picture or only the region for comparative
yes. Recently though users have reported this not working for them.

Show Regions of Interest: ?
This is for the motion-pixel.js file. It is uses a different method to read pixel changes. When this option is on it will draw boxes around pixel changes.

Send Frames: yes, this is necessary for motion plugin
yes

Allow Next Trigger: ?
When to let the next trigger run on the main system. This is to prevent an overload from the data coming back.

Timeout Reset on Next Motion: ?
This is for HotSwap Recording method. There is a timer that has it switch back to watch-only. You can make it so that timer is extended every time a new trigger is accepted.
