Hi,  
Only when I try to install this module, I get this error: there is a simple explanation (Never had something like it):

pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $ npm install /path/to/node-red-contrib-mpu9250  
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL  
npm ERR! Could not install from "../../../path/to/node-red-contrib-mpu9250" as it does not contain a package.json file.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:  
npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/\_logs/2020-11-17T13\_49\_19\_131Z-debug.log

Thanks for your experties.  
Andrea

The error seems quite clear, that folder does not contain a file package.json

Why are you attempting to install from a folder rather than from npm?

I suspect the node is not compatible with nodejs 12 which you have (or 14 which I have). You should submit an issue on the nodes [gitlab page](https://gitlab.com/benoit.lavorata/node-red-contrib-mpu9250/-/issues) and hope the author responds promptly. In the meantime you could downgrade your system to nodejs 8 or 10 I suppose, but it might be a trivial fix so probably worth submitting the issue and waiting for 24 hours to see what happens.

Those are instructions on how to install if you have downloaded the source onto your system. Where is says `path/to/` you are supposed to put the path to folder which you downloaded it to. Which you haven't and you don't need to.

Thanks Colin for your prompt respond. I will folllow your advice.  
Yes, I tried to change the "path/to" with no better results

I am trying to read a GY-91 sensor connected to my RPI4, do you know of any other module able to use this sensor?

Thanks again.

As I said, that would only work if you had downloaded the node's source first, and if it won't build installing from node-red then it won't install directly from source either. It needs to be fixed.

I don't know anything about that sensor, sorry.
