Did you install the extra bits as listed in the ReadMe?
The Sense HAT python drivers need to be installed manually:
```auto
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sense-hat
sudo pip-3.2 install pillow
```
See the [driver documentation](http://pythonhosted.org/sense-hat/) for more information.
Also why are you running as root? This is NOT recommended

install the extra software
install the node again
start node-red

We are not able to type anything on the window, continous message of session closed is been displayed not allowing us to type a single word of any commands.

The terminal window you are showing is running Node-RED. If you press Ctrl-C in that window it will return to the command prompt where you can run the suggested commands.

That's the same one you showed before. Open a new terminal and show us why you are not able to stop node red.

Are you also trying to get a sensehat to work?
If node-Red is repeatedly crashing restarting crashing you need to stop it restarting. (explained on the raspberry pi page in the docs)
Then restart node-red from the command line and copy and paste what you see here.
(if you aren’t trying to get a sensehat to work please open a new thread)
