SOLVED Trouble updating mineOs

[vikhyat modgil]

Yes I have tried this guide - https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/freenas-9-plugin-mineos.20122/page-22#post-300032

(I am new to FreeNAS)
I have tried multiple times to install and update mineOs and each time I am trying to update the plugin refuses to update at this step - pkg install -y npm.
I have looked everywhere online and can't seem to find a solution.
Running FreeNAS - FreeNAS-11-Nightlies
If Install Minecraft 11.1 it seems to work fine but as soon as I go up to 1.12 it breaks down, I realize that is because I need jdk8 but i don't know how to install it.
If more information needed let me know.
Any help is appreciated, Thank you

The latest version of npm is not compatible with the latest version of node. Downgrade npm to version 4, see this post

For the PBI-based plugin, try this:

Code:

service mineos onestop
pkg delete -y npm
pkg install -y npm4
service mineos oneupdate
service mineos start

If anyone is wondering how I fixed it in the future for FreeNas:

Do a clean install of mineOs on your freenas.
ssh into your mineOs jail or go into the jails tab and click the console.
Type this in:
=======================================================
service mineos onestop

pkg install -y npm
sed -i '' -e 's|^\(command="\).*\("\)$|\1/usr/local/bin/node\2|' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mineos
sed -i '' -e 's|^\(start_precmd="\).*\("\)$|\1export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/pbi/mineos-amd64/bin\2|' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mineos
sed -i '' -e 's|^\([[:space:]]*\)/.*/npm\([[:space:]].*\)$|\1CXX=c++ /usr/local/bin/npm\2|' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mineos

service mineos oneupdate
service mineos start

service mineos onestop
pkg delete -y npm
pkg install -y npm4
service mineos oneupdate
service mineos start

pkg install -y openjdk8
==========================================================

Restart MineOs

Can I just say, my friend; that you have provided me with a solution to a problem I have been trying to fix for 2 weeks.

There is no way I can ever repay you for your contribution to this forum. You are a legend.

Just curious, why not just install npm4 at the start?

EDIT: FYI: just starting with npm4 seems to work just fine, I just did it myself.

EDIT: Well, almost, now I can't seem to create a new server once in mineos
