Are you asking what the default port is for Node-Red for use in port forwarding or something?

Port 1880 as per installation documentation.

I am asking for accessing node-red registry [registry.npmjs.org](http://registry.npmjs.org) for node-red installation to execute

```auto
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

```

Can I inform port 1880 to open in firewall ?

Sorry, aside from your ? in reference to the port, your question is unclear to me... any firewall, port forwarding, etc. is up to you and/or the administrator of your network.

[registry.npmjs.org](http://registry.npmjs.org) is the npm registry. It is not specific to Node-RED.

It is accessed via http(s) so you would need ports 80 and 443 unblocked to reach it.
