Can't Install Node-Red

Post by jassa »

Hi,

I am trying to install Node Red following the steps found here: https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi

However, when I run the update-nodejs-and-nodered script it fails with an error that TeamViewer cannot be updated securely. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.

Hi jassa,

there is no need for a custom Node-RED setup. Just log into the RevPi web interface and go to services, where you can activate Node-RED and the RevPi backend server.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately when go to Services I don't see the NodeRed options?

Hi jassa,

which version of our image is installed on your revpi? Please share the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/revpi/image-release
lsb_release -a

2019-03-14-revpi-stretch.img

Raspian GNU/Linux 9.8 (stretch)

I assume we have an old image?

We ended up removing the Teamviewer package and then updating Node and npm and installing Node-RED as per the link in my initial post and it's working as expected now.

Hi jassa,

stretch is our previous stable image with has been superseded by our current Buster image. In order the run with the latest security fixes and feature I would highly recommend to upgrade your image. A detailed tutorial can be found here: https://revolutionpi.com/tutorials/imag ... ll-jessie/
