Do you have git installed?

what is that?

If you're familiar with source code repositories?
git is a tool/kit that allows to pulldown, push, synchronise source code changes.

Imagine a cloud system, that hosts the code base of an application.

One example is : https://github.com
And for completeness, here is Node RED's GitHub : GitHub - node-red/node-red: Low-code programming for event-driven applications

git ia tool to interact with a repository (repo) that is hosted on it.
Depending on the developer of the Node, git maybe needed to pull down (and maybe build) some software on the machine you wish to install this Node on.

In a terminal do the following

git -v

that will atleast let you know, if you have git installed

if not, try (in a terminal) - assuming you're on a *nix machine

sudo apt install git

in cmd i typed gif -v . i don't have it then, i put apt install git, I typed apt install git, but I don't have it either.

you mentioned cmd are you running Windows?
if not, what OS are you running?

window 11

OK,

  • So go here: Git - Downloading Package
  • Install like any other app
  • Restart (git, may add some stuff to the path variable) -so a restart is recommended
  • Try the install in Node RED again

EDIT

I am not a windows user, so my accuracy may be slightly off here

I am an OSX (Apple) user, its DNA can be tracked to the BSD kernel (so technically yes).
Based on your answered flag, glad your up and running.
