Error Trying to install chatbot from Node-Red add-on in Hassio

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Not sure if this belongs on a Node-Red forum or here, but since it’s within a Hassio add-on I figured I would start here in case it’s related to the add-on. I am trying to install the chat-bot module into node-red and it is failing. To my understanding, the npm install should install all the pre-requisites if any are missing but that looks like it is failing and I am at a loss of what I am missing. Any help would be appreciated. The log from the addon is below:

Hi,
i have exact the same prpblem. Did you have a solution for this?

Hi, same problem here. Any ideas?

I unfortunately, did not get any responses to the post, and I got sidetracked on some other projects and haven’t worked my way back to this one. If I figure it out I will definitely post the results here. If not, if anyone else has some ideas, let us know here.

So I got a little more information on this one. It’s not a solution but at least some steps that maybe we can get to one.

The Node-Red module is built and compiled as part of the npm install. So if you look at the log it shows that it can’t find the make command. The advice from the Node_Red forums is that on really minimal installs like HassIO the tools to build are not provided. So at least one package they feel would take care of the issue: build-essential should be enough, but if not python2.7-dev package would definitely cover it.

So i guess the question now is how do we get build-essential added to HassIO since we do not have a command line to add them in manually, or is there some addon that will include these for us?

I’m having the same issue. Would love a solution to this. Tracking.

Also having this issue… really frustrating part is I had it working last year by including the “make” and “g++” system packages, but that no longer seems to be sufficient.

8

Found a solution:

system_packages:
  - musl
  - make
  - g++
npm_packages:
  - node-red-contrib-chatbot
init_commands: []

It doesn’t work for me

you may need to install python 2.7

For what it’s worth it installs fine on raspberry Pi OS
