[Alexa] Getting started "Running on Amazon Web Services" not work = Manage app not install

[rafaelgit]

Hello, there.

I'm new to using node red and started following this tutorial for installing on AWS to use integrated with Alexa:

https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/aws

I performed all the steps correctly. But when trying to install some nodes, it displays errors and fails to install:

Tried to upgrade to node 14 and the latest versions of node-red, aws-sdk, node-red-contrib-storage-s3 and when. But, it kept giving the same error.

Can anyone help?

A quick check shows that node-red-node-alexa doesn't exist on npm or GitHub anymore so needs to be removed from the catalogue

node-red-node-alexa

Hardillb, thanks.
But, the node-red-contrib-alexa-home exists in npm and doesn't install either:

NPM:

node-red-contrib-alexa-home

Error:

Those logs appear imply that those nodes have installed even if there is a error shown in the editor.

Please restart Node-RED and post the start of the logs that will include all the version information and will log any nodes it's found but failed to load.
