Module did not self-register @serialport

I had to reinstall my raspberry pi zero

I copied the old ~/.node-red to the new, and then ran the update-script.
So I have the same flows as before.

I get this in the log:
foo - Error: Module did not self-register: '/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/@serialport/bindings/build/Release/bindings.node'.

I'm using
node-red-contrib-serial-modbus v 0.0.11 to read my power-meter.
I can see in /dev/ that the usb modbus adapter appears when I plug it in, but I get no results from the power-meter.

Is modbus related to @serialport?

Is there a way to see if the modbus is being polled?

You should not have copied the .node-red/node_modules folder. Delete that folder, go into the .node-red folder, and run
npm install
Which will reinstall all additional nodes required.

Edit: Note that this may take quite a long time on a zero.

Post the full output please.

Did you install build-essential?

I did a npm install serialport in ~pi

then I could do a npm install in ~pi/nodered, and it's working now.

That would not have made any difference. All it will have done is to install it into ~/node_modules and created package files in ~
