I’ll have a google and see if I can sort this!

How to manually reset your CLI installation

hi there if you installed your CLI using our installer / install script (described here) or use Workbench, read on occasionally, the CLI will get itself into a bad state and the only fix is to reinstall it. here’s how you do that: open the directory containing the CLI’s files: macOS / Linux: ~/.particle Windows: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\particle delete the following files and directories if available: .npm-cache autoupdate error.log node-v8.15.0-<os>-<cpu> (e…

Thanks. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it using the installer and that sorted it. Seems to happy now and then.

This is an annoyingly common issue and needs to be resolved.

@How to manually reset your CLI installation

particle update-cli

I have read and re-read and followed so many suggestions, I'm now totally lost and asking for help. I have a MacBook Air i7 running Big Sur OS 11.7.10 and a MacBook M1, both have the same problem.

I followed the steps suggested in this topic and got this:

johngoode@Johns-MacBook-Air ~ % particle update-cli
particle: Adding dependencies...
▸ Get "https://binaries.particle.io/node/v16.20.0/node-v16.20.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz": dial tcp: lookup binaries.particle.io: i/o timeout

▸ Error rebuilding packages.
▸
▸ Try running again with GODE_DEBUG=info to see more output.
done

I have an internet connection. Two different Mac's running two different OS versions. But getting this same issue.

Please help…

@Support can you take a look please?

It could be that there is a difference between the node versions in the command and in your directory. Can you try installing node 16 following the instructions here and try again?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CLI updated to Node 16

Hi all, We're updating the installer for the Particle CLI (Command Line Interface) to run using Node 16. As long as you've installed the CLI using the installer, the next time you run the CLI, it will update to Node 16 in the background. You can trigger the upgrade in the foreground by running particle update-cli If some CLI commands don't work after the upgrade, follow the steps in the CLI troubleshooting guide. Open the directory containing the CLI’s files: Mac OS / Linux: ~/.particle W…

Hi @johngoode Are you able to download the file in the error via a browser? Can you try that and check?

[no1089]

@johngoode Specifically - can you run curl https://binaries.particle.io/node/v16.20.0/node-v16.20.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz -o binary.tar.gz via the terminal and see if it downloads?
Since this times out at every failure - it's possible something on your network/Mac is blocking it.

[johngoode]

@IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CLI updated to Node 16

particle update-cli

So grateful to you guys!

johngoode@Johns-MacBook-Air .particle % curl https://binaries.particle.io/node/v16.20.0/node-v16.20.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz -o binary.tar.gz

followed by:

johngoode@Johns-MacBook-Air .particle % tar -xvf binary.tar.gz

That worked!

[no1089]

That's great news!

My next step would have been to nuke the .particle folder and see if that helps. I'm not sure what would have prevented the updater from downloading the binary before the timeout - we'll highlight that in the bug report.
