I have some knowledge but not an expert. I followed the installation for emoncms per [node-red-node-emoncms (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-emoncms) . When I go to " /usr/src/node-red/node\_modules" I see the directory "node-red-node-emoncms" which contains other files. However, when I launch my node-red I get all previous nodes (and can see my running project) but the emoncms node is not displayed on the nodes menu.

The instructions state:

> Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically `~/.node-red`

`/usr/src/node-red/node_modules` is the directory for the node-red application itself, you should not be looking/touching anything there.

Make it easier for yourself, in the node-red gui \> hamburger menu \> manage palette \> install tab \> search emoncms \> install

Hi @LuisB,  
Is there somewhere an explanation of the emoncms node? From the readme page it is not clear to me what can be achieved by the combination of Node-RED and emoncms...  
Thanks!!
