That chart node has dependencies that need to be downloaded and installed in order to work (thats why it tried to grab them).

[This](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-bundle) may or may not work (it is supposed to bundle things for you).

On a computer WITH internet & NodeJS installed:

```auto
npx npm-bundle node-red-contrib-chart-image

```

It should finish after 1 or 2 minutes and say

Is the device physically connected to the internet? Does the ctrx have a default gateway set?  
Like any hardware device you plug it in to a network and setup the IP/enable DHCP (or setup wifi). It _may_ be there is a firewall or setting on the ctrlx device you need to adjust? It may be you are connected only via a (non-routed) switch. It could be many things - I dont know.
