I wonder if Node has an issue with the ampersand (`&`) in your home directory name (`C:\Users\Mayel&Monique\`). ---

Yes, very sharp! If you look at the error message, it is truncated at the ampersand! ---

Hello Together, i´m new, and i have mayby same problems - im using newest 32bit LTS Version of nodejs on my older 32bit-computer. I installed homey CLI. But after that i still can´t reach homey via nodejs terminal… ![nodejs_Athom_login](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/5/e57fb5aec29583cbc550c3eebf084690cbb56f08.jpeg) ---

The package `athom-cli` has been replaced by the package `homey`, so try installing that instead (`npm i homey`) ---

It’s not related to the Node version, which is working fine for me: ```auto $ nvm run v12.14.1 ./node_modules/.bin/homey login Running node v12.14.1 (npm v6.13.4) ✓ Logging in...

I installed NodeJS last weekend (on Windows), followed by the installation of the homey CLI. In my case the homey (login) command wasn’t recognized either. What worked for me: - close the command window used for installation - start a new command window - enter “homey login” Note that the first time it will start the login process and in my case I was so slow that the (command window) homey prompt timed out. I simply tried again and this time it did work. Maybe this helps, good luck! ---

Hello together, if i type “homey login” it expects an script “homey.js” in a “homey folder” - but there is only a “athom-cli” folder with an Script “athom.js” . Copy, Rename folder and script doesn´t work. “athom login” doesn´t work also… Some ideas? ![Unbenannt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/6/06d7b4eb4c3b53f75cd2e2b2bc11dbc631bf9128.jpeg) ---

Hi there. First, you do not need to start the node.js command prompt, the normal cmd prompt works just fine. Then, fixing your problem… try this: From normal cmd prompt. 1. npm install npm@latest -g 2. npm install node@latest -g 3. npm install homey@latest -g 4. Homey login Not working? Reboot the PC and try Homey login from normal cmd prompt again. Still not working? Let us know. ---

Hi Johan, looks quite better - near to goal: 1. **npm install npm@latest -g** works 2. i´ve had to type “ **npm install --force node@latest -g** ”, to overwrite older installation 3. i´ve had to type “ **npm install --force homey@latest -g** ”, to overwrite older installation 4. **Homey login** works, but on an newer way like in the first video above, i just have to login at homey webinterface, you don´t have to write email-adress and password at cmd window ![weblogin](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/f/2f353dedd72b2218b3ea33d3ef53480720c651df.jpeg) 5. “ **homey app install** ” as shown in the second tutorial above, works But while installation some errors appears - Mapulu´s devolo app doens´t shown at homey apps after login - with cellphone app. Do you have an idea? Thanks a lot. ---
