Failed to start LSB: forever-service startup script for psc-node

[gabonacorp]

Hi folks,

I try to setup a PI4 with Buster. Omxplayer works so I just need to make osc-node to work as well.

I did everything what is in the readme, i ran install.sh and everything looks okay but after restart I hade an error which is at the title.

Do you have any idea how to solve it? I have this:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status osc-node

I haven't noticed any error during node.js install (only the huge warnings that this node.js version is highly outdated) so I can not figure out what can be the problem.

Thank you in advance!

best,
