Error during install Modbus Node in raspberry pi4

General
1

Hi every one

I start to learn Node-red from short time

I install it in my computer and install all nodes I need and everything is ok

but when I tried to use it with Raspberry pi4, I face issue in install node (node-red-contrib-modbus) for modbus communication.

Here is the full log.

I also upgrade the full OS using (sudo apt full-upgrade)
Also ued this commad ( sudo apt-get install build-essential)

If any one face problem like this or any one can help me, I will be so grateful.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know what might cause this, but since no-one else has replied so far then possibly I can get things moving.
Firstly to get your system up to date you have run sudo apt update before sudo apt full-upgrade so try that first. Then in a terminal go to your .node-red folder and run
npm install node-red-contrib-modbus
if that still fails then how did you install node-red? The recommended way is using the script from https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi

As the error seems to be related to serialport, maybe something on this thread will help resolve the issue: Why can't the serial palette be installed?

Thank you guys for your reply
First I upgraded the operating system and there were no any errors, but when I upgrade node red it gave me a lot of errors then i tried to install modbus node again but it didn't work

But your comment give me good idea to remove full node red and install it from beginning

(as I didn't install it first time at raspberry pi, but it installed with operation system)

So after remove full node-red and Node.js and install them from scratch and I tried again to install modbus node it finally work.

Thank you very much.
