Installing particle-cli & spark-server on raspberry pi 2

Wow ! Thank you so much. I’ve been struggling to get Particle CLI working on my Raspberry Pi B+, for quite some time now. Following these instructions to the letter got it working.

One mistake that I kept doing was to do:

sudo npm install -g serialport@150

and then run:

sudo npm install -g particle-cli

and NOT

sudo npm install -g serialport@1.5.0 particle-cli

Doing this made it fail with a bunch of errors relating to serialport@174 on my Pi.

For anyone else out there…make sure you run the commands as posted initially and everything will be fine.

Thank you again !
