Hi,

I am trying to install amqp node for nodered.  
I am using this command in my windows command prompt: npm install -g node-red-contrib-amqp  
I am getting this error:

See [Unsupported engine for amqplib@0.4.2 · Issue #36 · abreits/node-red-contrib-amqp · GitHub](https://github.com/abreits/node-red-contrib-amqp/issues/36) which is an unnadressed issue more than two years old. The node is no longer supported so you will probably have to fix it or find an alternative way of doing what you want.

Have you checked out all the options in [Library - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=rabbitmq)?
