Hi all,  
I'm trying to install an application that allows the use of node-red in any cloud foundry istance.  
The project is available at the following link:

> **[GitHub - cloudfoundry-community/node-red-cf-ready: A visual tool for wiring...](https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/node-red-cf-ready)**
>
> A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things ready for any Cloud Foundry instance - GitHub - cloudfoundry-community/node-red-cf-ready: A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things ready for a...

When I put the command:

cf push node-red-cf-exprivia

I see a lot of failure (see log below).  
Please let me know how to fix the issue.  
Thank you .  
Best regards.

That hasn’t been updated for 4 years, Node-RED has moved on a bit since then.

I guess it isn’t compatible with nodejsv12

I put the command:  
node-red -v  
and my versions are the following:  
5 Sep 15:21:46 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.19.5  
5 Sep 15:21:46 - [info] Node.js version: v10.15.1  
Have I to update node-red to a newer version?  
Thank you.

I have never seen this project and as Mark says, it hasn't been touched for a long time.

The biggest clue is in the log you've posted:

That is a CF specific issue - nothing to do with Node-RED or the version of Node.js.

It also looks to be a fork of node-red to run on cf rather than a node-red node to do that
