Lost everything. Was trying to update the cronplus to the latest version but somehow managed to scr... it. Lost everything. I then imorted my backup from latest night as I do send backup to dropbox. But when I import the project and deploy it, most seems fine but nothing works. If I push on a injectnode I get the message: Error Node not deployed. And i also get the message tha chronplus is missing even if the latest version now is installed. What to do? Best regards Freddy ---

It also tells me: Flows stopped due to missing node types. - cronplus Close and in the debug windows i read: stopped modified nodes waiting for missing types to be registered. info cronplus ---

Simply install node-red-contrib-cron-plus from the palette manger. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/2/a2d2eeb933594bc90fb870b9ec202c093f36eb44.png) As for "losing everything" - if you had asked on the forum we could have told you where to look (there is a single local backup of your flows, updated with each deploy - this will now be lost due to your actions) ---

Ok, but it all is in the backup from last night. So I think that will be fine if I can get things up running again. I have installed the cronplus again, but get some errors. Last version of cronplus was 1.5.5 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/a/aaad5ac128c3c74940519af9c3f09d2e3f4c8fa7.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/9/c/9c8121e9c6de64cbd7a7c73d5be6a47a2896f0fc.png) ---

The "cannot get description from node-red" suggests that node red not actually running. Have you checked to see if node red is still running?? How do you launch node red from a command line? Are there any errors at the end? ---

You have an issue with your package.json-lock file (this is easy to understand if you search > [@FSHelgeland](#): > > integrity checksum failed when using sha512: wanted sha512 In your `.node-red` folder, Delete the package-lock.json file then run `npm install` and then `npm install node-red-contrib-cron-plus` ---

No. That's possibly why you have an issue. Do what I said... > [@Steve-Mcl](#): > > In your `.node-red` folder, > Delete the package-lock.json file then run `npm install` and then `npm install node-red-contrib-cron-plus` ---

can i run the npm install from the debug window on my pi? (finally understand the feelings my students must have when i ask them, why did you do that, wait for help...) ---

> [@FSHelgeland](#): > > can i run the npm install from the debug window on my pi What is a debug window? Do you mean an S SH terminal? Where is node-red installed? ---

the node red is on a Raspberry pi. So I wondered if I coud do it from the pi, but i can ssh it. ---

Change your file viewer to show file extensions, that will make life easier. ---

used the commandwindow on the raspberry pi itself. Works, but my card crashed so I am now on a new install and importing my backup. Had to reinstall a lot to the pallette but encounter a new problem. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/0/b/0b1a95269b8e2dd5cb2b4157fbb1f718aa43bc94.png) Guess it has to do with my Home Assistant. Tried three different installs in the pallette but still the same. ---

Did I learn something? Hopefully! But I am extremely happy that I do have automatic backup to dropbox every night. Took a clean install, installed all missing contrib nodes, and then imported the flow. A little bit work with access keys but now everything is up running again. Note to self, make a note listing all contrib nodes in use. Thanks to everyone who replied in here. ---

> [@FSHelgeland](#): > > Note to self, make a note listing all contrib nodes in use. If you backup everything in the .node-red directory except the node-modules folder, then to restore you just need to restore that directory, then go into the directory and run `npm install` and it will install all the contrib nodes you had before. ---

Thank you 🙂 I guess I did it difficult for myself yesterday, but somehow I managed to pull it together. Learned a lot but still a lot to learn. ---
