is it okay??

[kennethlimcp]

Looks ok to me

[kys1528]

but why comes up this problem…???

[kennethlimcp]

It’s a warning but not an error to inform of a newer package than the currently bundled one.

[kys1528]

so is it okay???

[kennethlimcp]

Like i mentioned earlier it’s ok.

[kys1528]

thank you !!!
I have one question…
I want to connect to electron.
When i typing “particle setup wifi”, comes up error message.
Error message is
"Something went wrong: [Error : Opening COM3: Access denied]"

[kennethlimcp]

Did you install the usb serial driver for the photon?

[ScruffR]

Don't double post the same question, it is already dealt with in this thread!

Electrons don't have a WiFi module!

I dont know why comes up a problem

I want to connect to electron. I look at community, https://docs.particle.io/reference/cli/. When i typing “particle setup wifi”, comes up error message. Error message is "Something went wrong: [Error : Opening COM3: Access denied]" Please help me…

[csh13]

Mine has given me many errors, look:

Is that ok to show everyone? (I put stars in)
And that is running as admin

[kennethlimcp]

Do a sudo npm install - g particle-cli

[csh13]

Thanks alot!
Btw how do you write in code format like that again?

[kennethlimcp]

You can use markdown like

`place your code here`

or

```
place your code block here
```

[csh13]

ok, but now the code keeps looping this:

gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/particle-cli/node_modules/serialport/.node-gyp"

scroll right

[kennethlimcp]

Or try:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-pre-gyp npm serialport particle-cli 

[csh13]

Ok, thank you. That worked, but what was going wrong?
(I want to learn something from this, Do you mind?)

[kennethlimcp]

1. You need to move the default directory where node modules are installed so that you don’t run into permission issues
2. The serialport node module has issues when it comes to installation and --unsafe-perm helps to unblock some operations that may fail.
