How to Start code-server installed from npm?

[Slodziak190q]

J installed code-server on rpi (again) beacouse railway was to laggy but j cant start it
When j type code-server --link in terminal i get an error

If it's installed with npm, double check by running code-server -v and it should print the version.

To run, run code-server.

To run with link, run code-server --link.

You may have to restart your terminal. Let us know what happens.

What is that? It's a Raspberry Pi, right?

[Slodziak190q]

Yes its my raspbbery pi but j ssh to it

I am a fool, I thought the installation was wrong, I think he ran npm install code-server instead of npm install -g code-server which enables code-server globally. So try that and report bach here.

If you see the screenshot(ya I noticed he used Android for the Pi connection), it doesn't find code-server. So it is not enabled globally.

so how can j install code-server?

[im-coder-lg]

I think you have to wait @Slodziak190q, looks like there is a bug. Try installing the old version.

@jsjoeio Looks like I found Argon2 on the NPM registry here. Should I install it separately?

That's the one we use in code-server! You shouldn't have to 🤔 But I guess you could try installing it globally

j tried to install old version of code-server but j get the error also as root j get terror

[jsjoeio]

Ahh, I'm sorry. This has not been a fun process I'm sure. I need to dig into this more when I have time. In the meantime, I would suggest you deploy code-server following our guides (maybe Railway) that way you can have a smooth experience.

We need to improve the Raspberry Pi experience.
