hi!

im fairly new to using node-red and npm. im having a little trouble installing the osc node and i was wondering if i could get some insight as to what exactly my errors are with this install. i have copied and pasted the npm error log on here.

Have you tried with the recommended versions of nodejs? see the docs on the website

The version of node has nothing to do with the actual error message.

Exactly what npm command have you run to get this log?

im running the command:
npm install node-red-contrib-osc

also, i did try installing this from "manage palette" in user settings and got the same error message.

in addition, i am using midnight commander to navigate to the node module path and then running the command once i am in that path. would this make any difference? im assuming this would be the same manually setting the directory path for this installation.
