what i do in cmd is:
cd "D:\abc\def\Node-red"
and then:
npm i node-red
U can read NPM documentation too
A simple google search can help a lot
npm has two ways of installing modules - either as a local module or a global module.
When installed as a global module (by using the -g option) then it will place any scripts the module provides onto your path so they can be run from anywhere.
When installed as a local module (as you are doing here) then it does not put the scripts onto your path.
To run node-red when it has been installed into a local directory you would run:
node node_modules/node-red/red.js
You may also want to look at New Utility: alternate-node-red-installer
When installing locally and not globally, the command can be found from the installation folder:
"D: \ abc \ def \ Node-red \ node_modules \ .bin \ node-red.cmd"
You can use this file to run node-red or create a service with nssm. I recommend you take a look at the documentation:
https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/local
Look at Comand line
node node node_modules/node-red/red.js
this working fine thank you
but flows created C:\Users\user.node-red (default)
can we change this in to custom directory?
Yes - look at the docs @Nxito pointed you at - https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/local#command-line-usage
You can use all the same command-line arguments when using node node_modules/..... as you can with the node-red command.
I put up an article on different ways to install Node-RED:
Obviously, the official docs should be read first.
