Hi,

If you are trying to install a node-red node it is always useful to specify the full name of the node you are trying.

But it would appear you are trying to install something in your home account, not your .node-red directory.

Also it’s now far easier to install using the manage pallete option in the node-red menu.

This is the error from the manage pallete.  
What can I do?

1. if you look at the node in Flows, it hasn't been updated in over two years
2. there are pre-req's
3. there is an issue on GitHub: [Fails to install rcswitch2 on new pi 3B with latest software](https://github.com/nobodyMO/node-red-contrib-rcswitch2/issues/6) you might want to look at
