Error installing an modbus-extension

[spunky1a]

Hello, I wanted to install a modbus server, but I keep getting an error message. Can someone tell me where the problem is or if something else needs to be installed?

i use windows 10 with io-broker and node-red.

Hi @spunky1a

Welcome to the forums.

The module you are installing, requires the serialport package.
this package needs 'building' - as its a native binary.

This requires python to be installed, but the build process cannot find python.
The suggestion is to install python 3.8 for Windows to allow the build process to complete.

ok thanks, i reinstalled python, the path wasn't set correctly, now it works
