I´m running this command in /home/pi/.node-red:

```auto
npm install node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes@0.0.1-beta.16

```

Output:

> _npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see [Request’s Past, Present and Future · Issue #3142 · request/request · GitHub](https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142)_

After restarting node-red there´s still no onvif node.

Node-Red version is 3.0.2 und it was installed by the script.  
What I´m doing wrong ???

Thanks in advance,  
Thorsten

You have not actually shown us the command you ran. Make sure we can see which folder you are running it from when you paste it. It should be the .node-red folder.

Also, did you restart node-red and refresh the browser?

See edit on first post.  
Yes, "node-red restart" and refreshing my browser.

That should be  
`node-red-reload`  
or  
`node-red-stop`  
`node-red-start`

`node-red restart` starts node red without stopping it first, using a flows file called `restart`.

If it still doesn't work (don't forget to refresh the browser again) then post the log output from  
`node-red-stop`  
`node-red-start`

Stopping and starting Node-Red and refreshing the browser makes no difference.

Wrong commands again. You have used `node-red stop` which starts node red using a flows file called `stop`, and `node-red start` which, as I explained in my last post, starts node-red with a flows file called `start`. Did you not look at the output you got and try to understand it before posting?

Read my last post again and try once more.

Also please copy/paste rather than screenshot. When pasting use the `</>` button at the top of the forum text entry box.
