Trouble installing node-red

Hi!

I am trying to install node-red locally following the directions on this site for Windows 10. Using current version of node-red and LTS node.js 12.22..1 X64 per the note-red web site.

Here is the warning and error messages I get when I try to start node-red - both from the normal powershell prompt and from the node.js prompt.

From NODE.js prompt

Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 12.22.1 (x64) and npm.

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Any suggestions and help gratefully accepted!

Hello @dvenus,

Welcome to the forum!

Do you have a firewall activated during install? Maybe you should give it a try to deactivate the firewall and install again.

If the installation works you should check how to setup an exception for the node-red port.

Something to do with the way you installed it. Did you install for all users or just your dvadmin.node-red user? And did you install from an elevated command prompt or a standard one?
