im done with all you told me,
No I said...
You got both parts wrong 
oh really
i think i got the instruction wrong
Yes
cd into the .node-red directory
Type npm i
Press enter
don't know if i did the right thing so here it is the screenshot.
first thing is i run command prompt, then type node-red enter then. I run npm i next. if wrong please direct me in detail how I'm going to do this, sorry if this stress and borders you. won't mind an image explanation thanks.
You did not follow the instructions in Steve's post a few minutes ago:
cd into the .node-red directory
Type npm i
Press enter
i don't get this.
cd into node-red directory
type npm i
where do i locate this, i know my question might be fustrating but please just help me with this,
i did check the user and narrowed down to node-red directory , check the image attached if i get it right then if not please enlighten me more
Also, looking at that screenshot, I would guess you also did not delete the node_modules folder (since it reported up to date)
Please follow all instructions to the letter (i.e. no one said start node-red!)
In the command window run the commands
cd .node-red
npm i
but first delete the node_modules folder.
okay i just did that, bellow is the response

You did not delete the node_modules folder. Please try and do everything asked. If you don't understand then ask. The node_modules folder is the one shown in the screenshot you posted a few minutes ago.
Then run npm i again, from the .node-red folder as before. That will rebuild node_modules.
i deleted it before i run the code sent
don't be tired of me please.
I am not tired with you, just tired. I went to bed.
Can you post the contents of the file package.json from the .node-red folder please?
Then delete the node_modules folder again, then, from the .node-red folder
ls -l node_modules
npm i
ls -l node_modules
The first command should say that node_modules does not exist.
Please don't post screenshots, copy/paste the text from the command window. When posting use the </> button at the top of the forum entry window and paste the text between the lines containing three back ticks. Use that technique for posting package.json too.
