Getting error "Missing node type" with "node-red-node-pi-sense-hat" library

Node-RED version: v4.0.7
Node.js version: v20.18.1
node-red-node-pi-sense-hat version: 0.1.5

I have a sensehat physically mounted on a raspberry pi r4, and I'm trying to get the environmental values from it. I found a library called "node-red-node-pi-sense-hat", but I am running into issues.

After installing the library, I am able to place "SENSEHAT Input node" down. However, when I press deploy, I get the error in the image above. I also see this error in "Manage Palette".

I have already ran " sudo apt-get install sense-hat", and have all python dependencies installed on my raspberry pi's host os. My nodered is running in a docker container however, but I'm not sure if that affects anything.

Any help with this issue will be appreciated.

Since you are using docker, I think those will have to be installed inside the container. Do you have to use docker? Don't if you don't have to, it just makes life more complex.
