I am trying to execute the jolla-sms-exporter program by vostoksystems from GitHub to export my sms from a Sailfish OS device.
It requires node.js and npm modules (yargs).
I managed to copy the files from the project page (main.js and package.json) in the corresponding folder on my sd card and to ssh to that folder from my terminal. I also installed node.js (v12.17.0) using the Storeman-package manager and then installed npm (version 6.14.4) with some brute force from the command line:
root$ npm install --force
but still got errors when doing so saying gyp WARN EACCES current user 'nemo' does not have permission...
Finally, if I try to execute
node main.js
I receive the error code
Error: Cannot find module './libs/CoreDb'
When I try updating / installing further npm modules, i.e. npm install CoreDb I get an error saying upper case letters are not permitted, when using lower case, it says it can't be found.
The module is called in main.js by
const CoreDb = require('./libs/CoreDb')
Can anyone give me a hint what went wrong here?
I have seen and tried the following solutions:
Node js Error: Cannot find module './lib/socket.io'
Node.js Error: Cannot find module express
How do I resolve "Cannot find module" error using Node.js?
Nodejs is showing error EPERM, how can i fix it?
Sorry for being a total newb on anything java, node, etc. I would really appreciate any help on that!
Thanks and best, Nik
