I have a basic flow here. I press the inject, and it supposed to execute loadti.

It works from my command prompt. But from node red, I get this:

It says loadti is not recognized, how do I get node red to recognize it?

The PATH environment variable is probably different inside node-red. Try specifying the full path to the command. Probably something like `/usr/bin/loadti`. You can use `which loadti` to find where it is, assuming you are using a linux distribution. If you are on Windows then I don't know how to find it. When specifying the path use forward slashes not backslashes even if on windows.
