You don't have permission to write to the folder where mosquitto.conf is stored. Which editor are you using?

Hi, thank for the reply, by opening about it says LXTerminal, which i think is part of the. Mark docker shell, i did try sudo but its not recognised, i use this command to open file vi mosquitto.conf

To install mosquitto on the Pi you just need
sudo apt install mosquitto mosquitto-clients
and it will leap into life automatically when installed. Take the other one out first of course. I am not sure if you are also running node-red in docker, if so then you can use the usual script to install it without docker.
