This is somewhat unrelated to this project, but could it be that your version of Node is old?

the issue may be here, (node:1901) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead. npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: We don't recommend using Bower for new projects. Please consider Yarn an d Webpack or Parcel. You can read how to migrate legacy project here: https://bower.io/blog/2017/how-to-m igrate-away-from-bower/ /usr/local/bin/bower -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/bin/bower [email protected] /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower

It has been so long since I messed w/ JSish package managers. If anyone has ideas or proposals on how to update this to follow best practices is welcome!

If I can get this thing to run I'm going to try porting/forking it to a Vue CLI App and use Yarn as package manager and Webpack instead of bower. Maybe having the ability to change Wifi settings over MQTT via api calls too

Hi, maybe you just solved your issue, but the process I am doing to install everything from scratch is:

	curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_13.x | sudo -E bash -
	sudo apt install nodejs
	sudo apt install dnsmasq
	sudo apt install hostapd
	sudo npm update
	sudo npm install onoff
	sudo npm install bower -g
	sudo bower install --allow-root
	sudo npm run-script provision

I have this on my makefile. It installs everything needed.
