Hi, I am new to node-red and a am learning how to use it but I have a problem. In the node-red site it is written that to enable projects we have to modify the "settings.js" file. I found this file but when i want to open it, it doesn't work (it is wrinting that 'module' is undefined line 21). Please can you help me?? ---

(Moved back to #general category as this isn't related to creating nodes...) What do you mean exactly when you say "when i want to open it, it doesn't work" ? How are you trying to open it? It is just a text file you can edit with any text editor. ---

When I press it to open it it gives me a message that says that in line 21 'module' is undefined. ---

> [@MarcMarc2006](#): > > When I press it to open Do you mean you are double-clicking on the `settings.js` file in some file manager and you then get that error? That is because double-clicking on it will cause your operating system to try to _run_ the file. You don't want to do that. You need to _edit_ the file. ---

Now it worked but i have another problem: I changed the variable projects to true and saved the file but in node-red it didn't write anything about projects as it's written in the site ---

Have you restarted Node-RED after saving the changes to the file? When Node-RED starts up it logs which settings file it is using. Are you sure you are editing the right file? ---

> [@MarcMarc2006](#): > > Projects disabled : git command not found So you do not have the git command line tools installed. They are a prerequisite for enabling the projects feature. ---

How can we install the git command line tool? ---

That would depend on what operating system you are using. But a quick google should return instructions ---
