What is in the full log mentioned in the output?
For reference I see that you have submitted an [issue](https://github.com/krakul/modbus-rtu-slave/issues/1).
The particular error in your second post there is because it needs git installed. Though that in itself could be considered an issue.

Is git installed?

No. How to Install it correctly?

That will depend on what OS you are running (which you have not told us). How to install an app is nothing to do with node-red, your favourite search engine will probably answer it quicker than asking here.

Yes you are right.
It have to run on my raspi. But i will search for an Install guide.
I will report 😉
Thank you!

That doesn't look like a normal pi install. If that is some sort of docker install then you need to install git inside the container.

Sorry, you are right again. On the raspi is io brooker installed. And on the io brooker runs node-red.
So i need to Install it on the io brooker. If i cant find it, I will Install node-red directly on my pi.

Unless you have a good reason for using iobroker I suggest keeping it conventional and install using the normal method from the node-red docs. Then you can just
`sudo apt install git`

Hey Colin,
BIG thanks for helping. I made a clean install of node-red without iobrooker and it works insane.
