Plexamp headless on raspberry pi - new insrall w node 16.20.2 cannot execute

[anon_nona]

Hi, I just bought the Plex license so that I could install the plexamp headless application on a raspberry pi 4 B. But I’m getting an error.
I’m using the directions from : Install Headless Plexamp for your Raspberry Pi to create a Plex endpoint | How To Hi-Fi

Server Version#: Linux stereo 6.1.0-rpi4-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.54-1+rpt2 (2023-10-05) aarch64
player1@stereo:~ $ node plexamp/js/index.js

-bash: /home/player1/.nvm/versions/node/v16.20.2/bin/node: cannot execute: required file not found

recommend using an automated install script instead of manually working through the install steps yourself

(not that there’s anything wrong with the instructions, but there are so many places where things can go wrong, it can be difficult for folks here to help troubleshoot)

here are a few options if you’re willing to restart from scratch …

RoPieeeXL (https://ropieee.org/xl/) - best if you want an appliance-like experience for headless Plexamp in combination with other streaming protocols (Airplay, Spotify Connect, etc.) … this is an OS install image and all user configuration is done thru a web interface

@odinb1 install script (GitHub - odinb/bash-plexamp-installer: PlexAmp-installer for Raspberry Pi with ARM64 HW. Headless music-player controlled from any other Plexamp client.) - best if you want/need to stick with Raspberry Pi OS, especially if using an audio HAT that still needs to be enabled

if you’re brave, i put together a simple install script and some setup instructions (install and set up Plexamp headless on Raspberry Pi · GitHub) - the script is very basic, but even if you use one of the other install options, you might want to refer to some of the app configuration notes here

tgp-2,

Thanks for your suggestions. They were more of the same – “apparently well accepted solutions”. I do like your script… easy peasy.

I guess the problem I was having is 32 vs 64 bit. I tried 3 or 4 times (that I remember). Ugh, what a nasty buzzkill to try it on the 32bit OS…

It worked on the 64 bit platform with the first try.
