What hardware and OS are you running on and what instructions did you use for installing node-red?

Hi @Colin . I am using a mock-up with IntelEdison with Yocto Linux. I used "npm install --unsafe-perm node-red" to instal nodered.

Can you post the terminal output you get when you start node-red please. That will tell us a lot about your environment. When posting logs please copy/paste rather than screenshot, if possible. When pasting it in use the same techniques as for code and flows as described in [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)

@Colin, Sorry for screen, but when i updated npm i installed version 1.3.5 of nodered i installed pm2 to enable an autostart of Node-RED and now i havent got any output in putty. I send a screen when i used nodered 0.9.1 and started it with command  
root@fablab:~/node-red-0.9.1# node red.js

That is an ancient version of node red and an ancient version of nodejs. Many current versions of nodes will not work in that environment.

Also if putty does not work then something is messed up in your system, which you need to fix.

You need to do it from the node-red folder AND it should not have an `e`  
`npm uninstall node-red-contribe-sensortag` \<\< wont work due to spelling  
`npm uninstall node-red-contrib-sensortag` \<\< try that instead

> [@Mixter](#):
>
> node 8.17.0

Node v8 is EOL. V12 is now in maintenance. V14 would be preferable.

Also, it looks like you have installed / run as `root` - this is not desirable.

You need to be in the correct directory before running npm uninstall

from your earlier screenshots you were not!

When you start up node-red what does show

e.g...

@Colin @Steve-Mcl I would like to thank you for your willingness to help and understanding.  
I used:  
root@edison:~# cd ~/.node-red  
root@edison:~/.node-red# sudo npm install node-red-contrib-sensortag

and now i can use this node but the data is incomprehensible. Can i fixed it? Or is this how the node is built? Or again i do somethink wrong?

Why is that?

Have you tried expanding the msg object to see its content?

Do you know how to extract items from a msg & its properies?

There’s a great page in the docs that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.

Pay particular attention to the part about the buttons that appear under your mouse pointer when you over hover a debug message property in the sidebar.
