<div dir="ltr"><div>Don't worry it's not "666" on Friday the 13th -- the new/preview Internet-in-a-Box 6.6 Preview largely works on all 3 OS's (Raspbian, Ubuntu 18.04 and the imminent <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-stable-announce/2018/07/msg00000.html">Debian 9.5</a> arriving "tomorrow" 2018-07-14!)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Try a fresh install by picking one of Internet-in-a-Box's "1-line installers" here and letting it rip:<br></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div style="text-align:center"><font size="4"><a href="http://download.iiab.io/6.6">http://download.iiab.io/6.6</a></font></div><div><br></div><div>You can choose a

Raspberry Pi peops: use the new <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/">2018-06-27 Raspbian</a> (Lite or Desktop). PC / x86_64 peops: use either the server edition or the graphical/desktop edition of any Linux distribution Very Similar to the 3 mentioned above!<br></div><div><br></div>WHAT'S THE LATEST?<br><ul><li>Sugarizer 1.0.1 was added to IIAB 6.6/master Wednesday 2 days ago (for MEDIUM-sized and BIG-sized installs).
Two people have hit so-far-unexplained problems with "npm 5.6.0" unable
to build the Node.js stuff for Sugarizer on RPi 3 and RPi 3 B+ ("cd /opt/iiab/sugarizer-server" then "npm install" fails and/or runs out of memory on certain RPi 3's but not others, despite seemingly identical conditions). If Node experts can help out on Raspberry Pi, that'd be super awesome, please shout or write me privately! <b>Lionel: will an <a href="https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer-server/releases">official v1.0.1 of sugarizer-server</a> be possible in coming days, so IIAB 6.6 is can become even more stable, instead of driving off of sugarizer-server's master branch?</b> In any case: we can release IIAB 6.6 Preview 2 later in the week if that proves necessary to refine Sugarizer on Raspbian.
