Installing Node-RED is pretty simple — just set up Node.js, run a quick command, and you’re good to go with visual programming. But things get tricky when you need it running across production lines, talking to PLCs, and staying up 24/7.
That’s where a basic install isn’t enough. This article walks you through how to properly download and set up Node-RED for production: [Download and Install Node-RED for Production • FlowFuse](https://flowfuse.com/blog/2025/09/installing-node-red/)

I think this should be in the FlowFuse category as it is very specific to FlowFuse and not Node-RED in general. There are plenty of other ways to deliver a production-ready instance of Node-RED. Not commenting on which is better, just saying that this isn't a "General" post.

Thank you @TotallyInformation for flagging this, and thank you @Paul-Reed for moving it to the FlowFuse category.
