i just shared with you the error pop up when installing the wireless sensor
Here is the relevant message from the log:
so i have to download visual studio?
Yes, that is what the error is saying.
The node probably includes some binary components that need to be built as part of the install.
okay I'm doing that now, if i need anything else i will recert back immediately. thanks for your quick response. i hope this helpful. i have been on it for hours and seems no headways.
I notice you are also using an unsupported version of nodejs (v19). You should drop back to v18.
However, you may still have problems as I can't get it to install (on Ubuntu) with nodejs 18. I think it is pulling in an obsolete version of the serialport package. Will not install with nodejs v18 · Issue #26 · ncd-io/ncd-red-wireless · GitHub
I'm actually using. node red version 3.0.2
I was not talking about node-red but about nodejs (also known as node).
You have installed version 19.8.1
No, not necessary.
Simply re-install NodeJS (V18 LTS is recommended) and ensure you tick the checkbox to include the "necessary tools"
please can you help with the link?
i have installed version 18 but the problem persist
Did you select the checkbox to install the build tools as shown earlier?
If yes, are you sure it is the same error as previously?
i checked the box
