NodeRed version 3.1.8.

That's the only noderRED instance I have when this does not launch the file manager pop-up window to select your tgz file node.

The nodeRED is in the container. Are there any ways to fix that issue, or to check what's wrong?

This command does not display anything regarding that:  
docker logs --tail 10 mimi-nodered1

**In the meantime, is there a way to install the tgz manually ?**

Thanks

Welcome to the forum @misiek303

What tgz file node are you talking about?

Since this appears to be a front end problem, it is highly doubtful the server side log would reveal anything.

Check the browsers console log.

I checked, and there is nothing as well. The same behavior is in Firefox and Chrome. Ubuntu 22.04

Is there another way of installing the tgz file ?

I found it

```auto
curl -X POST http://localhost:1880/nodes -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "tarball=@node-red-contrib-gpsd-1.0.3.tgz;type=application/x-compressed-tar;filename=node-red-contrib-gpsd-1.0.3.tgz"

```
