I found this 

 

 

And I have followed the instruction on how to go about it..

installed npm and 2FA then gone to terminal and

 

sudo npm install -g sonos-web-cli

 

then npm audit fix --force

 

and searched the instruction on what to do next..

 

Seems I missed out a step.  but still, using the commands the commands in terminal even with sudo I cannot get an instal that does not fail

 

Not sure what other info to supply at the moment so will leave it at that , until someone can let me know what they need to know to help me.

Install log from npm included below

    Ah well.. can't include the install log as it exceeds the 3000 character limit..and there does not seem to be a way in this form to attach a text log file..

     

    hmmm

    MACPRO:~ neil$ sudo sonos-web install
    Installing Sonos Web

    error installation failed...check /Users/neil/.sonos-web/install.log for more details
    MACPRO:~ neil$

    I get the above, but on checking the install log..it is empty

    I can try both 

    sonos-web install

    or

    sudo sonos-web install

    neither has any success and neither populates the install.log file

    That’s a two year old thread, and software written by a user, not Sonos. It is entirely possible the person who wrote that code has not maintained it.

    Yep, always possible. 

    As it was an oldish thread I though better to create new one...to avoid being accused of reserutinbg a new thread. 
    yes aware that it is not a Sonos product.
