That seems like you have an old build since Speaker is still there
Can you try downloading the latest build from here:
and try again?
Still getting errors with the install, this is exactly what I did:
(THANK YOU!!!)

You’re still not getting the right package. Where is this speaker coming from. Try this:
git clone https://github.com/greghesp/assistant-relay
Then cd assistant-relay
Then npm install
That’s the steps that I use I don’t see any of these errors.
Interestingly, I did NPM run start and it spit out the browser url, I logged in, pasted the code it gave me and it says it is up and running… though I’m not yet sure it’s running without error.
Ryan that’s what I did the first time… I will try again. Thanks!
I’ve just tried to install this and am getting the following:

Ryan I did that as you can see, and this is the result. Thanks!!!

I would try with a clean install of Raspbian.
The version of node you have won’t work I don’t think. Try v 8.8 or 8.9. 10.10 is definitely too new.
Oh god no, lol!! I hope I don’t have to go there. The only other thing I have installed is docker, running harmony-api. That was not too easy for me to set up when I did it months ago.
You’re seeing the same error no matter what we do, so that’s all i got for you. Sorry.
Thanks. That did it. Now to try to get it to make a noise… It says it’s running…
I’m now getting the following:
Received command broadcast hello world
User not found, using Alex
Conversation Complete
But no sound coming out of any speakers. I also don’t have the relay as a device in my google home app, if that makes any difference…
Edit: resolved the user not found issue…
I had to install Git, then no errors. Weird as i didnt have to install that for V1. Now have everything up and running
Ok relay is running, but i am stuck on having webcore announce as i did with V1. I looked at a couple of examples and thought i had it setup correctly.
It looks like you need to add a command string.(user,broadcast,command)
Thats it…thank you very much! dumb mistake 
I have no idea what i’m doing wrong. I have the server running, and I can get webcore to talk to it, but I can’t get a sound out of my google home(s)… This is the output from the server…
Assistant Relay is now setup and running for Alex
You can now visit 192.168.0.26:3000 in a browser, or send POST requests to it
Conversation Complete
Received command broadcast hello world
User not found, using Alex
Conversation Complete
Received command broadcast WebCore test broadcast
User not found, using Alex
Conversation Complete
Received command broadcast WebCore test broadcast
User not found, using Alex
Conversation Complete
(Can’t remember how I fixed the user not found issue previously, I’m using the correct username for both the webcore and hello world tests…)
edit: the upper case A was the issue… I was using it at both ends but it’s being passed as an a… still no sound
looks like I’ve dome something wrong at the google end…

Usually this is a case of not having the correct oauth file with the projects connected to the assistant api
