While trying to work out why my machine is now running 100% all the time, I was removing some nodes.

I got this message after an uninstall:

```auto
node-red-contrib-ui-led@0.3.1 requires a peer of node-red-dashboard@2.14.x but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

```

I have 2.19.2 installed with 2.19.3 _ready to be installed_.

So if I have 2.19.x to me that is greater than 2.14.x

Thoughts?

Does this message remain after your restart Node-RED ?

(Work in progress.)

The poor machine is running 100% all the time. (With NR running)

It didn't used to. It _pulsed_ from 30% to 100% every 20 seconds (as per time schedule and tasks.)

I am trying to get it sorted out and it takes about 15 minutes to update/install or remove a node.

The command was done from a CLI / Terminal so I don't know how to answer that.

I hate that npm seems to get that message wrong more often than not.

All it means is that the led node requires dashboard to be installed. Once upon a time, npm would have done it for you had you forgotten but now it doesn't.

That's fine but it often seems to be unable to detect that the dependency _is_ in fact installed.

Thanks.

I just needed to check.

I guess I shall just _ignore_ it as the dashboard is installed.

So that is more a `NPM` problem than the `node`?

Not a node problem at all.
