I have node-red running on a Raspberry PI 3+.
Having an issue installing/running since attempting to install node-red-node-sqlite module.
After restarting node-red I get the following:

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

How do I resolve this issue. My node-red is dead in the water with this failure.
Thanks.
Did you follow the readme instructions ?
It can take about 20 mins to recompile itself and install. Was there any error reported as it installed ?
Never saw the readme instructions.
But that's water over the dam now.
So how do I fix the issue?
I suggest you go and read them before you do anything else.
Run it as per the instructions...
Thanks. I think i'm to the point of uninstalling node-red and reinstalling it.
Reinstalling Node-RED itself won't have any bearing on any extra modules you've tried to install - unless you mean a full wipe and start from scratch.
Before you do that, try:
- go to /home/pi/.node-red/
- run
npm rebuild sqlite3

This worked. I no longer get the node-red startup issues and the sqlite node is present.
Thanks for your Very Helpful reply.
Worked for me too thanks knolleary & ecjmiddl.
My thanks to all the contributors who assisted in my endeavors to get sqlite installed. Being new to node-red I found installing this node a challenge. I set out my final process below in the hope it might assist others.
My initial attempts at installing sqlite on a Pi Zero via "npm i --unsafe-perm node-red-node-sqlite"
failed as I erroneously assumed I had a lock up while in fact it was compiling. Took approx 15 minutes before a raft of messages gave an insight something was actually taking place.
After a restart I remained frustrated as while the palette manager advised sqlite node was now installed it was not showing and there was a nice little red triangle with exclamation mark.
A review of the start up script gave me the message:
[warn] [node-red-node-sqlite/sqlite] Error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-node-sqlite/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/node-v57-linux-arm/node_sqlite3.node'
Then "npm rebuild sqlite3" fixed this, red triangle is no more and node showing.
Think it would be worth adding a rider to the node instructions about the lengthy compile and that the rebuild command will fix the red triangle.
Thanks - have added to the readme
Rebuild sqlite3 has also solved the issue for me. I was updating node-red with the bash script on https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi, coming from version 1.0.1, going to 1.1.2, node.js v8.11.1 to v12.16.3
