Hi everyone, sorry is it possible to create more than one projects in node red with dashboards that can be opened independently on same windows pc machine? if yes how?

Careful about spaces - please put code between back-ticks. node-red -u C:/Users/admin/.node-red2 -p 1881 Windows takes forward as well as back slashes. Use either. This assumes that the user running Node-RED is called admin. If not, then change that part of the url to something that the user has …

how did you managed that? help me please

If you run the command node-red --help it will tell you the command line options. In particular, on a linux system, you might run node-red -u /home/user/.node-red-2880 -p 2880 The first time that is run it will create the folder and start node-red using port 2880. Saved flows will go to th…

Try @Colin advice, if you are stuck at any point, let me know.

[image] Colin: node-red -u /home/user/.node-red-2880 -p 2880 sorry if i run node-red -u /home/user/.node-red-2880 -p 2880, it will overwrite the current instance that is running with port 1880? or it will create another instance with port 2880?

[image] Engineer_M: is there something in this command node-red -u /home/user/.node-red-2880 -p 2880 should i modify? I don't understand what you mean. You need to specify the folder that you want the flows etc to be saved in, and which port you want to use. What else do you need?

If you mean you only want to run one at a time then look at the projects feature. Projects : Node-RED

my node red directory is C:\Users\admin.node-red, so how the command above should look for this directory?
