I tried to install node-red-contrib-marantz-http but it fails with the following exception;
Versions

27 Dec 19:53:29 - [info] Node.js version: v12.14.0

command started from windows shell (cmd)
part stacktrace;
33 error enoent Error while executing:
33 error enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t https://github.com/estbeetoo/marantz-avr.git
34 error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
First try was via Windows Shell (cmd) as administrator, in the npm home path a executed the command "npm install node-red-contrib-marantz-http"
Second try was via the Node-RED instance, waffle menu, manage palette, install, node-red-contrib-marantz-http, install
This results also in an identical error as the first try.
Because I am a new user, i'm not be able to upload the stacktrace logfile.
Hi Wim,
The above error means that either you don’t have git installed on the machine, or it is but it can’t find git in the PATH. Normally this error shows if you try to install from source/a git repository but don’t have git installed. Based on the error my guess is this node depends on a source install of another package but I can’t verify that immediately (I’m typing this from my phone). Let me see if I can confirm that in a bit. That’s also the reason it would appear regardless of your install method.
Since the basic package is actually published to npm, my first step would be to file an issue to the creator of this node to have the dependency changed to npm instead of a git master branch, or to have a PR done with specific changes and/or publish their own version instead.
Very tnx for the golden tip, indeed after installing GIT on my local windows machine I was able to install the node-red-contrib-marantz-http package without any exception, the nodes are from now visible in Node-RED.
