Pi4, node red 4.08, js 22, just like it says there is no manage pallete in the drop down menu. Restarted node red, no effect. Rebooted pi no effect. Out of 3 pi's this is the only one doing this. Any quick fix or do a reinstall?
Thanks
Open a command window and see what this command shows
npm -v
I suspect that npm is not installed.
The pi install script should install nodejs in a way that includes npm.
Also, to rule out its not an account thing, do npm -v in an exec node (that will use the account node-red is running in)
if I run it in a shell, I get
10.9.2
if I run it in an exec node I get
Command failed: npm -v
/bin/bash: line 1: npm: command not found
by the way I installed node red using the install script
How do you run node red?
Edit: If it runs automatically on startup then run these commands and show us what is output to the terminal.
node-red-stop
node-red-start
Note the dashes in the commands, no spaces.
to save everyone time after being pointed in the right direction it's obvious npm wasn't working or at least working right. Since it had been working I thought some upgrade must have clobbered it. I did the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and now everything seems to be working. I hope. To answer @Colin message node red starts automatically and when I ran the stop and start commands it complained about npm not being installed. Since his was the first answer I marked his as the solution. Not to slight @Steve-Mcl
Thanks for the pointers
