Installation and running errors

Hi everyone!
I have been trying to get started with Node-Red but I'm facing an issue on a very initial level.
I tried to install node.js then I installed node-red as mentioned on the website but when I tried to start node-red with chrome it is not starting and showing this message instead.

Hi,

No where near enough info to begin helping you I'm afraid.

  • Is the browser on the same machine as where node-red is installed?

  • what OS/hardware have you installed on? RPi? Docker?

  • How did you install (official script?)

  • post the node-red startup log.

How did you install (official script?)
Not Sure, I installed node.js recommended version 14 as mentioned in the installation guide.
Then I copied the commands as mentioned in the installation guide.
Then I tried the local host:1880 and the Cannot GET/ thing appeared

Is the browser on the same machine as where node-red is installed?
Yes

what OS/hardware have you installed on? RPi? Docker?
I have a Lenovo S145 AMD Ryzen 3 Laptop with Windows 10 Pro

post the node-red startup log.

And by copying the Server URL I'm getting the Cannot GET/ thing.

The start up looks quite normal. Most odd.

Looking at your command window start up log, you have node V12. Not an issue but it is near eol so I would recommend v14.

Did you run npm install in an elevated command prompt (right click run as administrator)?

Do you have any browser extensions installed that might be causing an issue? (AV and anti spyware are the usual trouble makers)

Could you try another browser?

ok i'll try that and let you know

Try using the IP of the machine running NR instead of 127,0,0,1 it should be something like 192.168.1.55:1880 - see what that results in.

I tried that as well same results.

I see you have the node red dashboard installed. How did you do that if you have not been able to open the editor?
Also at the beginning you said you had installed nodejs 14, but the log showed 12. Then you said you had upgraded to 14. What is the log showing now?

And I'm still getting that Cannot Get/ Error

How did you install node-red-dashboard?

Don't know i think i had searched for a cmd command and typed it

After the initial install were you able to get into the editor?

nope it is happening from the start

Did you try a different browser as suggested earlier?

What do these commands show

wget localhost:1880
wget 127.0.0.1:1880
