Is it possible to download an app from your homey with CLI? I wan`t to look at some code to verify manufacturerID support. ---

When I run the command “home app run” I get the following error message (at the end): ✓ Pre-processing app… ✓ Running plugins… ✓ Running plugin `compose`… ✓ Plugin `compose` finished ✓ Validating app… ✓ Homey App validated successfully against level `debug` ✓ Packing Homey App… ✓ Pruning dev dependencies… — App size: 134.5 KB ✓ Installing Homey App on `Øyvind's Homey` ([https://10-22-1-124.homey.homeylocal.com](https://10-22-1-124.homey.homeylocal.com))… **× An unkown error has occured [incompatible\_app\_version]** I’ve followed the Getting Started Guide on [https://apps-sdk-v2.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Getting%20Started.html](https://apps-sdk-v2.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Getting%20Started.html) to the letter.

The app you’re trying to install (probably) requires firmware v5 (experimental at the moment), and your Homey is still running v4. ---

Hmm Used CLI before. Just installed Node.js v12.16.1. Now I get this error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/b/9bc68483fbbbbb5917b4f591016f9714c1ef4c2e.png) Don’t know what I am doing wrong? ---

Execute this: `xcode-select --install` This will install the (required) Xcode toolkit on your Mac. ---

Hello all and specially @robertklep😃 I have Meross devices. I previsouly had success CLI installing [GitHub - bjwelker/com.merros.cloud: Meross Cloud devices for Homey](https://github.com/bjwelker/com.merros.cloud) Recently the author added the mss210, as i have these devices it s awsome BUT after each installs i did, i have the app crashing on homey app. During node prompt install i see these warnings : 1/ npm install ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/0/e0ea502779da551b1f7ea97a73aaee0e211bb098.png) 2/ homey app install ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/9/b9c96628daacdc0ade3031fe6c1ee72d0badbadc.png) I uninstalled node.js app on my windows then i reinstalled it. Downloaded the fresh github app. I did that many time with no success. Any idea what it coud be ? ---

> [@mattrix](#): > > Any idea what it coud be ? Yes: your version of `npm` (which comes with Node.js) is too new, and the `homey` app cannot deal with it. But even though the error occurs, the app is still installed successfully (see last line). If you want to get rid of the error, you should install `npm@6` (`npm install npm@6 -g`). ---

Wow you were right. I had no more errors in the node js prompt. But I still have the app crashed syndrom ☹ ---

Your screenshot isn’t showing any crashes, though. Instead of `homey app install` you can use `homey app run`; that will run the app and show debug information. ---
