Link Node JS and Node "File exists"

[ukiews]

When running:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

per https://github.com/abandonware/noble#prerequisites

I get: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/node': File exists

Is this normal? I am still trying to get BLE to work with the SwitchBot plugin on the RaspberryPi4

This is a bad practice this should be changed in the documentation, which OS are you running ?

Homebridge 1.7

@ukiews, @rzr is asking for your Operating System not app that is using noble.

Sorry, I think you are looking for this: Raspbian GNU/Linux Bullseye (11) I'm running a standalone Homebridge server using the Raspberry Pi Imager.

Please update documentation accordingly something like ( /usr/bin/node --version || sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/local/bin/node)

if you want to use a different node than the default one, may you look at update-alternatives command too
