In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Node-RED on Clear Linux. Node-RED is a programming tool that helps developers create scalable and complex applications by connecting different devices, services, and APIs.
The first step is to install the dependency packages required for Node-RED to function.
sudo swupd bundle-add nodejs-basic
After installing the prerequisite packages, we can now proceed to install Node-RED.
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
The --unsafe-perm flag is used to avoid permission errors when installing global packages.
Once installation is complete, we can start Node-RED.
node-red
The output should indicate that Node-RED is running and listening on a port.
