might be a clue, read the readme on flows.nodered.org install any additional libraries you need and then try installing the node

I have tried installing the library for this sensor with the sudo command but keep getting a lot of errors and it will not install for me.

From the nodes Readme:

Installing this node requires three steps:

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g node-dht-sensor
  • Install this node
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g node-red-contrib-dht-sensor

Have you installed the node-dht-sensor dependency?
