General

Hi,

I have problem installing node-red-contrib-talib on my windows machine.

6 Mar 14:16:54 - [info] Node-RED version: v2.2.2
6 Mar 14:16:54 - [info] Node.js  version: v16.14.0
6 Mar 14:16:54 - [info] Windows_NT 10.0.19043 x64 LE
6 Mar 14:16:55 - [info] Loading palette nodes

Whether I try to install it through palette or powershell (core) the error is the same
This is log from palette

Apparently powershell does not support && so I installed powershell core 7.2.1 and trying
npm i node-red-contrib-talib
I get the same error

I can see that install script calls for powershell but not the core one (pwsh.exe)

Where can I edit this install script or better yet is there another way of installing the modules manually?

Any help is appreciated.
Tnx.

2

Upgrade to Powershell 7+ then && will be supported.

3

I did install Powershell 7 but the install script calls for powershell.exe not the pwsh.exe (ver 7.x.x executable).

Is there a way to install node-talib and node-red-contrib-talib manually?
I have both archives node-talib-master.zip and node-red-contrib-talib-master.zip available on my desktop.

OK, I made some progress with this
npm config set script-shell "C:\Program Files\PowerShellCore\7\pwsh.exe"

and now I am at the next barrier (see error log below). Someone help me please, I am not sure I can interpret this log fully

OK, installed. Here is a quick recap...

  1. make sure you have VS2015, others don't seem to work
  2. install PowerShellCore, preferably ver 7+
  3. npm config set script-shell "C:\Program Files\PowerShellCore\7\pwsh.exe"
  4. npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015
  5. npm config set msvs_version 2015
  6. install node-red-contrib-talib via palette

GL!
