Can't get PM2 to install

[jltnol]

I'm so glad I've found this REVISED page on how to install this software. Thanks to whoever took the time to write this up. I do want the pool control software to run at start up, but according to the docs, I need to install PM2, with this command:
npm install -g pm2

I'm in the main Pi directory (so that may be the issue), but when this command is issued, this is the response:
env: 'node': No such file or directory.

I'm not the swiftest PI guy by any means, but can easily follow instructions... until something goes wrong.. so here I am. Am I in the right directory to get PM2 to install? if not, where should I be?

(also, there is a request to Quit nodejs-poolController if its running. I'm assuming this can be done from the CL by using what command?

npm is node package manager and is installed with node. If you just run npm it should bring up the help text. The -g flag means 'install globally' (as opposed to part of any specific software). Hence, it doesn't actually matter which directory you run npm install -g pm2.

If you are get PM2 running then you can manage the apps with 'pm2 stop name' . ie pm2 stop njspc.

You did see this wiki page, yes?

So I'm trying to get the pool software to work on a new Pi OS install. I'm using Bookwork, not Trixie, and following the steps here:
https://github.com/tagyoureit/nodejs-poolController/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide, but still can't get it to work. I did see the Wiki page you referenced, and was clearly doing something wrong, as when I went thru the steps again, PM2 installed perfectly. I copied the script and put it where it needed to be, but I still can't get it to run properly.

I will say the steps outlined in the Quick Start guide seem much easier/faster than the original steps I went thru, and for people like me, that's a very good thing, so hats off to whomever took the time to streamline the install process.

I've started from scratch from a new OS install several times, ran all the scripts in the QuickStart guide, got PM2 installed, but am sure I'm just missing a step somewhere.

HOWEVER, I do have an older version of the OS with the pool control software that is working fine, so for now, will just use it. Will revisit this soon....
