and this is what i got from the node-red page when i tried to run the ncd-wireless
Once again, you are doing it from the wrong directory. All these things must be run from inside the .node-red directory. Though I do not think that will make a difference to the error.
okay, please how best do you think this can be done, i do not get the statement "inside node-red"
i thought you mean command prompt (cmd) or node.js command prompt
how best do you think this can be done. sincerely you have tried for me. once im able to do that i will be able to carry out my work, or please do you know any alternative plugging that can work as ncd wireless. i can try to install that, i was able to install dashboard and some other few plettes, but the wireless ncd wont just installed.
That is not what I said. I said "inside the .node-red directory". You did not understand that previously and it was explained that it means to run the command
cd .node-red
which means Change Directory to .node-red (which is C:/Users/USER/.node-red)
Then
npm install ncd-red-wireless
i just did that, I'm sending the error log
<C:\Users\USER.node-red>npm install ncd-red-wireless
