Thank you for the quick response!  
I guess I assumed there would not be a prebuilt version for my hardware. The device has Node.js v8.11.3 and the Node-RED installation via npm worked! With some errors concerning bcrypt, which was then discarded as optional dependency as you predicted.  
So much easier than I thought 🙂
