if i wat to install the npm i node-red-contrib-udmx node i get a error.
does sombody know why?
i am using a rbp 3b.
Because something has gone wrong? 
If you post the actual error someone might be able to suggest what to do. Without the error, it would only be guesswork. But also please include the versions of Node-RED, node.js (listed on start-up message of Node-RED) and which platform you are running on

i am using node red version: v0.19.3
You have an ancient version of npm, you are on 1.4.21, the latest is 6.x. Since it seems you are on a pi then, assuming you are running Raspbian, I suggest updating everything using the recommended pi install/upgrade script in the docs
https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi
After you have upgraded.... then the main error is that there is library missing so it won't compile...
../libusb/libusb/os/linux_udev.c:40:21: fatal error: libudev.h: No such file or directory
#include <libudev.h>
^
so you need to do
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
then retry the install
sow i did the upgrade and did the sudo and now i am able do instal it.
thanks to you all

sow i orderd a usb dmx dongle to work with the udmx node.
now i have the problem that the udmx node does not reccunice the usb dongle.
i think i have to instal the drives for the usb dongel.
can you tell me how to do that?
i’d start by googling the name of the usb dongle you have bought and linux
Sow i googled it but i can not find a linux driver.
sow probelley i orderded the wrong usb dmx dongle.
can somebody tell me witch dongle will work with the udxm node and a raspberry pi?
