Im runing NodeRed in Homeassistant on a RPI4 with ssd. And I am trying to install this palette, but it keeps coming up with errors.

The relevant error is: ` gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make`

There is a binary component that needs to be compiled and it can't find the build tools.

Assuming this is a Pi, you could try installing the build tools with:

```auto
sudo apt-get install build-essential

```

then try installing the node again.

What OS are you running? Is this Hassio? [Home Assistant - Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/)

A quick google suggests you don't get apt-get on the Hassio image. You'll have to ask to the HA forums.
