P5-manager install errors (deprecated)

p5.js

sudo npm install -g p5-manager

gives me the following errors:

p5 g -b test

creates the appropriate files in the test folder

I’ve chased some of the errors on the internet but none of the results answer my question which is how to eliminate these errors. I assumed that there would be a new version of node but there are no referenes to that effect.

I am using node version: v14.15.5 which includes npm version: 6.14.11 and p5-manager: 0.4.3

My PC nas an I9 processor with 32 Gb ram, running Linux Mint 19.3

I would appreciate any help as I am new to js, node and p5.js

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! :wink:

Don’t be scared, it’s common to have npm warnings because some libraries are no longer maintained or supported when there’s some version conflicts between packages.

See this SO thread for example : installation - npm install: WARN on dependency - Stack Overflow

If everything works fine even with the warnings then it’s ok since it’s not errors. (It’s a common practice for developers to ignore warnings all the time! :hugs: )

In fact I am running Pop!_OS 20.04 with npm 7.5.3 with node v12.18.2 and I have the same warnings :

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please see https://github.com/lydell/urix#deprecated
