Hey everyone,

I’m trying to install ink but I keep getting this error:

I installed juno a while ago but ink has failed to update for months due to the same error…

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the latest versions of these installed?

I just installed the latest version of node but it seems like atom ships with a much older version of it.

durand@Deuterium:~$ /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/bin/node --version
v4.4.5

durand@Deuterium:~$ node --version
v10.7.0

Still get the same error :confused:

What version of Atom are you using?

Aha, that was my issue! I thought atom updated automatically but it turns out you still have to manually update it through your system package manager. Whoops. Thanks!
