Hi,

1. what device is running NR? and What OS is it using?
2. What version of node.js are you running?
3. Are you trying to install node-red-node-email or another email node?
4. How did you do the install? Please show us a log of the attempt.

The node you are attempting to install has a dependency requiring node 14

Your device is running node V12 (Which by the way is end of life)

Perhaps there is a way to upgrade the device? A better place to ask might be the [opto forum](https://forums.opto22.com/)

Or you could try manually installing an older version of the email node...

```auto
cd ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-node-email@1

```

(assuming that there is a way to get a command prompt and that the default directory is the correct place... again that may be Opto specific.)
