node.js 帮助创建无声门铃

Question

I'm not a coder (just wanted to get that out there). I read an article about creating a silent doorbell (I have a dog that's insane).

https://github.com/initialstate/silent-doorbell/wiki/Part-2.-Finding-the-Button 's-Address

I'm relatively computer literate. I followed the instructions for windows and download node.js. The instructions say to open a node.js command prompt and put in the following command:

sudo apt-get install npm

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

npm install node-dash-button

the problem i'm having is 1) I'm getting an error saying "apt-get" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

Reiterating that I am no nowhere near as sophisticated as the users i've seen on here and am just a guy trying to keep the baby sleeping b/c the dog can't shut up - is anyone able to help so I can then go to the next step of instructions?

Thanks so much in advance.

Answer 1

sudo apt-get is a linux packet manage, so you wouldn't want to do this on windows. As they have mentioned raspberry-pi's I gather that they have made the assumption that you would be on linux.

If you ran that command in a linux terminal it would install the preqequisites and then install node-dash-button in node.

Try just running the nodejs packet manager part:

npm install node-dash-button

The rest of that line is not node or windows.

Hopefully this will get you to the next stage :)

Answer 2

The whole tutorial asumes you being on a Linux/Unix system.

If you solve this issue you will run into the next if you don't know what the commands mean and how to translate them to windows.

For example

sudo node bin/findbutton

is a linux/unix command as well (which is the next step in your tutorial). So i strongly suggest setting up a VM with linux (debian should do).
