Local package.json exists, but node_modules missing, did you mean to install?

[mstry9]

I've setup the NightScout in Google, https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Nightscout/GoogleCloud.html, and it works so I tried to install this and get this error. Maybe the setup from here doesn't support this?

Here's what I see when I run my start.sh

mstry9@instance-20240511-203125:~/main/nightscout-librelink-up-main$ sudo bash start.sh

Not that anyone is even looking at this but here is the complete log:

from the logs it looks like you have to run 'npm install' before running the application.
I never used Google Cloud but is there a step which lets you run the command before starting the application?

[mstry9]

Thanks, that would probably work but this version of Ubuntu is so stripped down to keep the cost free it wouldn't install npm.
I'll just keep using Shuggah as the uploader. Mostly just playing here anyway.

I also run Nightscout on Google Cloud but get a slightly different error

[email protected] start /home/martinlammers/nightscout-librelink-up-2.6.1
> npx ts-node --transpile-only src/index.ts

Unexpected token ?

Or is this the same problem?

Ended up deploying this as a stand alone service in northflank. Seems to be working fine uploading to my Google Nightscout
