Unable to install on Raspberry Pi

[Kallb123]

It appears the setup guide is now out of date as the process is failing.

I tried with and without the node_latest_armhf.deb update step.

I firstly see:

npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=4.5.0"} (current: {"node":"4.2.1","npm":"2.14.7"})

which I suppose means the latest armhf node version isn't up to date enough.

It continues and then I see:

Hi, I think this project is out of date.
After few fails, I went with https://github.com/nekmo/amazon-dash, wich works perfectly

This issue occured on my Pi3 only with Node v10. Dasher runs fine with Node v8. Good luck.

I also got the same error.
Cause in my environment, libpcap-dev was not installed.

The following pages are helpful.
