Firewall is now deactivated, Antivirus tool, too.
“Incorrect header check” - like yesterday
“Incorrect header check” suggests that either the archive file that is generated (and which contains the app code) is invalid, or there’s an issue with the HTTP response compression. Both issues are very strange (but I don’t use Windows so don’t know if it’s a generic Windows issue, or it has something to do with your specific setup).
I think CLI installation issue is solved for the Moment.
Thanks for you help, Folks!
did you try the examples as mentioned before in this tread?
see [HOW TO] CLI install method and before
I tryed that, and my npm version is 6.14.2，node is 12.16.1, but it still doesn`t work…
Looks like you’re using a proxy or a firewall that’s blocking access to the NPM repository.
Thanks @robertklep it was my firewall. I had to uninstall…
Now it worked untill I want to install the devolo app:
I unpacked the files to the desktop. What could be wrong?? Do I have to rename the file, or type the name of the file in the cmd?
thanks!
… now i got it…
didn’t type cd cm.decolo-alpha…
Please follow the exact instructions from the first post. The correct command is:
npm install -g homey
Thanks, worked now!
Hi @robertklep,
I suppose you use a Mac, too, right?
The CLI method and also the use of the terminal is new to me, but according to the information here, it should not be a problem. It shouldn’t be a problem… But…
The installation of node.js (v. 14.8.0) worked without problems.
But when I execute the command npm install -g homey I get some error messages because I don’t have the necessary write permissions. But I am logged in as admin. What can I do?
I use macOS Catalina v. 10.15.6 (should this be relevant).
If you’re installing a module as admin, you need to add the --unsafe-perms flag:
npm install -g --unsafe-perms homey
Many thanks for the quick feedback.
I get the same error messages.

In that case, the best solution would be to change the ownership of the global node_modules directory to your user id:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules
After that, you should be install to install global modules as a regular (admin) user (and you don’t need --unsafe-perm).
At least that’s what I thought.
Something has changed, but I still don’t seem to have write access, at least not to the named files.

Do you use also Catalina v10.15 (or higher)?
I found this link on the official nodejs.org. If I understand it correctly, there are some problems with Catalina and node.js, right? However, the topics “programming” and “node.js” are a new world for me with lots of question marks. When you know what I mean.
Ah, you may have to change the ownership of /usr/local/bin as well:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/bin
I don’t use Catalina because of all the “enhancements” that are making life for users and developers much worse.
