Hi!  
I update my OpenHAB to 3.0 version and want to connect it to Node-RED.  
I nstall node-red-contrib-openhab3 but i have error on palette manager like picture.  
I cant uninstall node, I cant reinstall node.

Something is messed up somewhere. Go into your .node-red folder and run  
`npm cache clear --force`  
Then  
`npm remove node-red-contrib-openhab3`  
If that shows errors then paste the output here. If it succeeds then run  
`npm install node-red-contrib-openhab3`

You do not appear to have followed my suggestion, in particular:

You will need to do the cache clear again as you were not in that folder.

Can you post your package.json file please (from that folder). Perhaps that is messed up.

It is package.json from /home/pi/.node-red folder.

```auto

That doesn't look complete, are you sure that is all of it? At least there is a `}` missing from the end.

Do you mean the parenthesis is really missing? If so then add it and try again.
