Hi Everyone!
I have been trying to figure out how to successfully install an npm package hosted on my Github account. It works locally on my mac but not from my Digital Ocean Droplet.
Here are the guides I have looked at it and tried: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/permission-denied-publickey-using-git-from-digitalocean-console-forge-user
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57808112/digitalocean-and-github-permission-denied
and several others!
Nothing works.
I regenerated new keys and uploaded them to GitHub but still nothing.
The command I am trying to run is:
npm install git+ssh://github.com/mujibsardar/nodebb-theme-askavan.git
I get:
35 verbose argv "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "git+ssh://github.com/mujibsardar/nodebb-theme-askavan.git"
36 verbose node v10.16.0
37 verbose npm v7.18.1
38 error code 128
39 error command failed
40 error command git --no-replace-objects ls-remote ssh://git@github.com/mujibsardar/nodebb-theme-askavan.git
41 error git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

here are the permissions on my .ssh directory
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 1 21:21 .
drwx------ 9 root root 4096 Jun 18 22:34 ..

My apologies if I missed to share something more fundamental. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Hi there @avansardar,
As discussed below, the fix was to upgrade the Node version from v10.x to v14.x as per this tutorial here.
The setup actually looks all good. What I could suggest is to try to SSH to GitHub by adding the
-v
argument to see some debug messages:Feel free to share the output here.
Alternatively, I would recommend using HTTP rather than SSH to install the package:
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
