Hello

I'm trying to use Node Red camerapi takephoto node and I receive the following error:  
" Cannot find module 'uuid/v4' ".

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue ?

Hi  
I had the same error yesterday and there is a pull request open on Github.  
Fix  
After I installed the node through the palette manager I went to this Github repository and copied the package.json, camerapi.html and camerpi.js files to the node\_modules directory in the node-red folder and that worked

Or use a simple exec node to just grab pictures using raspistill ?
