Right TotallyInformation, it's ok till this step, behavior as expected. Now try this:
- Open only the second instance;
- Try to install a new node
To me:
this is my_folder before running the second instance (and yes I made soft links)
This is the error I get when I try to install a new node:
And this is what happened to the dir "my_folder" (node-red instance is still open)
As you can see the link to .node-red/node_modules doesn't exist anymore.
Regarding the error I get, you can find more details in this post Unable to install/update nodes
