You may need to restart node red and/or reload the page in the browser.

You should not really use sudo - and that path will install the development version - not the release version. You also need to be in your node-red directory - usually ~/.node-red - so:

```
cd ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-dashboard

```

then restart Node-RED - should be all you need.  
Or use the Manage Palette option in the menu to install it.  
But you may need to clean up your existing install.  
Also you don't mention which version of nodejs you are currently using.

Hi Myplacedk and Dceejay I did it before. I have use "sudo" to install and restart node-red. But I uninstall and install again, and restar node-rede, using the establish version as Dceejay advise me. You can see the commands below:

But the dashboard nodes still not appearing In the node-red palette.

pi@raspberrypi:~ cd .node-red/ pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red sudo npm i node-red-dashboard  
node-red-dashboard@2.11.0 node\_modules/node-red-dashboard  
├── serve-static@1.13.2 (escape-html@1.0.3, encodeurl@1.0.2, parseurl@1.3.2, send@0.16.2)

pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $ sudo node-red restart

They have another idea?

Assuming you're on a normal install on the Pi, that isn't how you restart Node-RED.

You should run:

```auto
node-red-stop
node-red-start

```

Hi Guys, in additional my recently post I did those commands and get success to stop node-red portal and nothing have changed. I didn't see dashboard nodes in the node-red portal.

udo systemctl stop nodered  
udo systemctl start nodered

Somebody have an idea to fix it?

Best Regards  
Alex

You may have a version of NR already running which would cause this message.

From the command line run 'top -u pi' and see if node-red shows in the list (type 'q' to quit out of top'

Hi guys, sorry for my mistake. I forgot to include "-" after node-red in the command. Now can stop and start node-red (sudo node-red-stop / node-red-start). I have only one stance working. But I still didn't see node-red-dashboard nodes in the portal.

I still trying to fix it.

When you use `node-red-start` that starts node red with the systemd service file so it doesn't make any difference whether you use sudo or not. Post the log here that you see after running `node-red-start`. You can copy from the terminal using Ctrl-Shift-C. Also note that by using sudo to install nodes locally you will have created files with root permissions in your home folder, which will likely give you problems at some point.

Hi Colin, I can´t find find an explanation for the problem. I already installed another tool and I didn't have the same problem!  
I understood your concern about install node using root permission with sudo.

As you see bellow all those files and folders have the same owner!

Do you have another idea how to fix it?

tks

That is the wrong folder, your local modules are stored in the .node-red folder so you want

```auto
cd ~/.node-red
ls -al
cd ~/.node-red/node_modules
ls -al

Which explains why they are not appearing, as you were not in the .node-red directory when you installed them.

The easiest way to install them is to use the "Manage Palette" option within Node-RED

Hi Guys,

Please dio this  
stop node-red - from a terminal type `node-red-stop`  
go to the node-red directory `cd $HOME/.node-red/node_modules`  
remove the dashboard if it exists `rm node-red-dashboard -rf`  
change back to the `.node-red` directory `cd $HOME/.node-red`  
install the dashboard `npm install node-red-dashboard`  
restart node-red `node-red-start`  
check to see if the dashboard nodes exist.

Now, what was that I said earlier about getting access problems at some point due to using sudo to install nodes locally?

```auto
cd ~/.node-red
sudo chown -R pi:pi .

```

Don't miss the dot on the end. That should set everything in that folder back to being owned by pi as it should be.
