Hello
sorry for the Newbie question.
i like to directly
npm install ........
but i dont found the node red command line input for Command-line Administration
Hello @prato.
What is it you want to install with npm?
What operating system do you have Node-red installed on?
Hello, i have already installed Node Red on Ubuntu 20.04 and works fine.
i like to install Midi Player found on:
midi-player is published on npm and can be installed as usual.
with the command:
npm install midi-player
I'm not familiar with Midi Player, but it looks like you install it at the Ubuntu command line AKA the dollar prompt.
But it wouldn't be integrated with Node-red unless you find and also install Node-red node for the task.
That node is not a node-red node (it is a regular NPM module)
You could use a function node to import the module (see the setup tab on the function node) and code the functionality in the same function node (in the on message tab).
NOTE: To use that package in a function (i.e. in the NODE environment as opposed to a browser) you will likely also need to import web-midi-api
Alternatively, if you were to use windows, there is a contrib node node-red-contrib-midi-windows - I guess from the title it wont work on Ubuntu 20.04
@ Steve-Mcl
first i have tried to install over Palette the [node-red-contrib-midi-windows] but the intallation fails with some error messages.
Telling us "some error" is not really a lot to go on however it is likely meant only for windows (not ubuntu)
tried also the
node-red-contrib-mid
Here the log

There are a number of known issues around installation with that 5 year old node
On this particular issue, a has a user suggested workaround
thank you
t think it's not worth the effort for an old trouble node.
my initial question remains how do I start node red admin for commands like::
target - Set or view the target URL and port like http://localhost:1880
login - Log user in to the target of the Node-RED admin API
list - List all of the installed nodes
info - Display more information about the module or node
enable - Enable the specified module or node set
disable - Disable the specified module or node set
search - Search for Node-RED modules to install
install - Install the module from NPM to Node-RED
remove - Remove the NPM module from Node-RED
It is described in the help...
https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/node-red-admin
Which command in particular are you trying to perform?
i know this side
Since Node-RED 1.1.0, node-red-admin is now built into the node-red command - you do not need to install it separately
But where should i insert the commands ? ???
In a terminal window on the node-red machine or another node-red server where node-red is installed.
From the docs...
To use the version included with node-red, use the command
node-red admin
So for example
node-red admin target http://localhost:1880
and
node-red admin login
and for others...
node-red admin help
i am confused
Where
to insert the command ???
node-red admin target http://lxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1880
sorry
Open a terminal on your Ubuntu machine where node-red is installed.
Enter node-red admin help
What do you see?
thanks ... thats the needed answer in terminal SSH !!
i thought i have to find a command line at Node Red dash
thank you very much
I think you missed the suggestion in the node red install instructions for Ubuntu/Debian/Pi to run
sudo apt install build-essential git curl
However, if you just want to install an npm module from the command line then go to your .node-red directory and run
npm install the_module
Though as suggested earlier, there is generally no need to do this as node-red will do it for you if you use the functionExternalModules option described in Writing Functions : Node-RED
Great ..... i do that and i have just installed
node-red-contrib-midi-windows
again
works! thank you
