I have all hidden folders and files visible on my Mac with node red successfully installed and running. But I still cannot find a "/nol" in my home folder. Where and what is this mysterious "nol"?
I guess you are referring to the /nol folder referenced three times inside the settings.js file.
// By default, all user data is stored in the Node-RED install directory. To
// use a different location, the following property can be used
//userDir: '/home/nol/.node-red/',
// Node-RED scans the `nodes` directory in the install directory to find nodes.
// The following property can be used to specify an additional directory to scan.
//nodesDir: '/home/nol/.node-red/nodes',
//httpStatic: '/home/nol/node-red-static/',
httpStatic: "C://Users/OCM/.node-red/projects",
This is only an example and will not exist in your system. Instead you should use your home directory. Mine for instance (running on Windows 10) is C://Users/OCM
OCM is my username in windows. By the way, NOL is the username of Nick O'Leary
I'm excited to be on the replying end of ridiculous questions like these someday, I aspire to be as merciful as you have been to me haha. I'm glad it was enjoyable.
I was certain these past two days that "nol" was some obscure http server location that was commonly known amongst those in the javascript community. but nope.
