Hello,  
I'm 100% new to Node-RED, and I have been introduced to Node-RED from Milesight, and intended use is to communicate with LoRa sensors and nodes via LoRa Gateway.  
When trying to install the Node-RED dashboard, I get the error message shown below.  
Why do I get this error message, and what can I do to be able to install the dashboard successfully?

I did, but I must admit I don't get much out of it:

A quick google search using `EAI_AGAIN` shows 'EAI\_AGAIN means the DNS server replied that it cannot currently fulfill the request.'

Are you running in a Docker container?  
What platform is NR running on and what OS?  
What version of NR and Node.js (you ca find these in the NR startup log)
