Can't find "Manage Palette" on the menu

General
1

Hello everybody,

I'm currently trying to get Node-RED (3.0.2) to run inside Electron (23.3.3).

I'm making an app based on Dceejay's "electron-node-red".
(GitHub - dceejay/electron-node-red: Electron Node-RED template)

When I distribute my application to a PC that does not have Node.js and start it, the "Manage Palette" is not found on the menu.
When I installed Node.js on that PC, the "Manage Palette" appeared, but I assume that the application is implemented on a PC that does not have Node.js installed.

"palette" in var settings' editorTheme is true.
Electron version is 20.0.0, and Npm version is 8.19.1.

Please give me some advice
@dceejay

Thank you so much

This will be because on the other PC, node-red will not know there to find the npm command. Also, it should tell you in the start up log why there is no palette manager - if you can access it (I dont know how you have your project setup or if you even redirect output to a file or to syslog etc)

Thanks reply.

I don't know how to output the log (eg Welcome to Node-RED…), but I thought it was probably caused by the path about npm command.

However,I pass the path like this, but it doesn't work.(for Windows)

process.env.PATH = ['./node_modules/.bin',
'./node_modules',
'/usr/local/bin',
process.env.PATH
].join(';');

Is this the correct way to pass the path?
