Hi I'm trying to update node-red-node-email from Node-red's manage pallete section, but it throws error that the module is not installed locally. So after reading forums I found out that I need to see where my module is initially installed and for that I ran the command npm ls -g node-red-node-em…

did you restart node-red and check the node-red-node-email version?

It looks fine in node-red UI with correct version. Seems like I've fixed the global listing issue by removing "node-red-node-email": "0.1.*", from package.json file in /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red and now this is what I get when print global listing: /usr/lib └── (empty) which means ther…
