Your question

I'm new to sitespeed.io and looking for help to install it using Node.JS I followed the instructions mentioned in website, however I don't get any results output file when running sitespeed.io .

Hi @sabe-ran29 thank you for creating the issue, this are warnings from dependencies and dependencies, what happens if you run sitespeed.io after, does it work?

[sabe-ran29]

'sitespeed.io' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I'm seeing the above message when I run "sitespeed.io"

If you are using Windows, try starting it from bash shell, there's an example on how you can install/run in the Windows GitHub action: https://github.com/sitespeedio/sitespeed.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/windowsFull.yml

I followed the bash commands and executed the following:

1. Installed Node.js (20.2..0) & NPM (9.6.6)
2. Run "npm install sitespeed.io -g" & observed the following: ===================== _npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported.

Should I ignore these warning messages? I have google chrome installed already. Should I need to install all the dependencies mentioned in windowsfull.yml?What are the next steps to be followed?

[soulgalore]

Yes ignore the warnings, follow the Windows installation.

How can I confirm if sitespeed is installed?

[soulgalore]

You run it? Do you have any other npm dependencies installed that you can check if those work.

[sabe-ran29]

Yes, i run sitespeed in bash commands and getting the following message. "'sitespeed.io' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I came across this very same issue running on node… after installation I tried to run pagespeed.io but it kept redirecting me to a file on the browser with “ #!/bin/sh basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\,/,g')") case uname in cygwin|mingw|msys) basedir=cygpath -w "$basedir";; esac if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/node_modules/sitespeed.io/bin/sitespeed.js" "$@" else exec node "$basedir/node_modules/sitespeed.io/bin/sitespeed.js" "$@" fi”…. It does run really good on docker but I couldn’t get it run tests on node.

If you run as https://github.com/sitespeedio/sitespeed.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/windowsFull.yml#L34-L36 using bash, does it work?

@soulgalore @rupam2234 @sabe-ran29 The way I have been running sitespeed.io on Windows with node is as follows:

• Follow doc install instructions and use node version 20
• Go to sitespeed.io dir using w. power shell and run sitespeed: "node bin/sitespeed.js -b chrome -n 1 --video --visualMetrics --viewPort 1024x768 https://www.google.com/"
• I have come across where it asks to install lodash packages: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27431187/cannot-find-module-lodash
• It does not work if you try to run sitespeed.io globally; this works on Mac fine but not Windows even if you install it on windows as -g

However, the latest release does not work and after taking a quick glance at it, looks like it is missing whole "node_modules" dir:

if it does have "node_modules" then if you go into the dirs, they are empty:

Did you get any error messages when you run npm install?
