Well I can tell you that you do not have a file or directory called …/samples/javaclient . However I hope you could have told me that, given it is already written on your screen! Between shrinking the terminal window and cropping your photo you have ended up removing all information from you photo that we might use to help you…

This is the complete Photo


as it is clearly written no such file or directory but how to solve this as i told you i followed the steps told by Qualcomm Developer Network? i am seriously not getting what to do now as i am new to linux ?

Yesterday I said:

I’m afraid the full photo of the shrunken terminal window is still insufficient.

Did you see any error messages when you ran the earlier commands?

I’ll take a look at this in the next day or two.

In the mean time, can you let me know how you solved your previous issue?

Hello sir
actually i am a new on linux so that was the big reason for that but in my case i hade done this “/home/linaro/Projects/alexa/alexa-avs-raspberry-pi/”: to “Projects/alexa/alexa-avs-raspberry-pi/” in place of refference implementation in 2.4. and then it works otherwise earlier it says no such file or directory.

sir can you please resolve my above problem of 2.8 today if you can please as i had to do this for my project .:cry::sob:

when i try to install node.js again then also it is showing me the same problem as in when i tried it for npm installation.

“i got error as E: Unable to correct problems,you have held broken packages”

Thanks sir

Are you using the 17.04 (or 17.04.01) debian release? If so I think this is your problem.

Debian removed npm support in Debian Stretch so the instructions from Qualcomm will only work if you use one of the older Debian images (acording to Audio Mezzanine Board - Qualcomm Developer Network the Alexa instructions were tested using 16.06).

Hello sir

Right now i have downloaded the same version (4.9.30-lt-qcom) which was told by Qualcomm
but still it is not working even following as per instructions .:cry::sob:
Audio Mezzanine Board - Qualcomm Developer Network and thanks for telling me that npm is not supported in Debian Stretch. i willtry to download again but will you please give me any link for older version from where i can download debian again other than (Audio Mezzanine Board - Qualcomm Developer Network) as i am already using this image.

Thanks

Having a v4.9.30-lt-qcom kernel shows you are using one of the newer releases >= 17.04 (the newer releases don’t support npm). As I said before the instructions on the qualcomm site have only been tested with 16.06 (see http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/debian/ ) although they will probably also work with 16.09 .

Hello sir
i want to correct i was using the debian os which was provided by 96 Boards and now i rebooted from Audio Mezzanine Board - Qualcomm Developer Network and now even for updation i am getting errors.while typing "sudo apt-get update " i am getting errors why ?(now it is really too much i am not getting anything ) sir please help and if you can please provide me the link from where i can download debian image in which audio mexzzanine will work as i tried a lot .:cry::sob:

Thanks

Might need a screenshot with that one…

i have sent you that above.

hello sir and @jmjobin @sdrobertw

if you can please tell me as i had to make the use of mezzanine board , but as told by you even i changed my linux operating system from stretch to older version but in those versions i got stucked in the very first steps . I think they have used some other linux distribution other than stretch as i had tried debian 16.4,16.6,16.9 and 17.04 but all are creating problem.i think i made a mistake (choosing audio mezzanine now i am really lost what to do ?) please help as i had to submit this project within 2 days. :cry::cry::sob::sob:

Thanks

I’m afraid I won’t be near a board til after the weekend. However I suspect
your apt.conf needs updating. It looks like it is pointed at an out of date
mirror. Try looking at the Debian documentation on apt and how to point it
at ‘oldstable’ (aka Jessie).

can you please provide me the link where i will see the documentation and are you sure they are not supporting npm in the latest version .as they supposed to be as it is the newer version.

Hello

Yes, I am sure the latest release doesn’t support npm:

Regarding reconfiguring apt I don’t think this is required. I am able to apt-get update just fine (on 16.06)… I think your connection to the internet might have not been working when you ran this command.

Daniel.

hello sir

when i run npm it is throwing a warning ?
