I have been using NodeRed for few years now. Hosting the NodeRed on a Pi.  
Recently, I am trying to install some new nodes specifically node-red-contrib-noble-bluetooth  
However, I am getting errors.( see below)  
I have ssh into the PI and ping [registry.npmjs.org](http://registry.npmjs.org) and get ping responses.  
So big perplexed.

I have installed, many nodes and never had a problem. So this is baffling

It works ok for me. I think it must be a networking issue of some sort. Does if fail if you try again? Can you install other nodes? What version of npm are you using? What happens if you run, from the .node-red folder  
`npm install node-red-contrib-noble-bluetooth`  
Post the full output from that please, including the command line. When pasting it here use the `</>` button at the top of the forum entry window.

Hi Colin,  
Somehow, it just stated to work again! No changes at all.  
Anyhow, usually things always solve as soon as I send a forum help email. 😀

Thanks again!
