Node RED is an open-source programming tool that allows you to wire together hardware devices, APIs, and online services. With Node RED, you can create complex workflows that automate tasks and make repetitive processes easier. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Node RED on NetBSD.
Before we dive into the installation process, you need to make sure that the following requirements are met:
Open the Terminal:
The first step is to open a Terminal in NetBSD. You can use any terminal application you're comfortable with. In this tutorial, we'll use the default terminal emulator.
Install Node.js:
Node RED is built on top of Node.js, so the first thing you need to do is install it. To install Node.js on NetBSD, enter the following command in the Terminal:
sudo pkgin install nodejs-lts
This command will install the latest stable version of Node.js on your NetBSD machine.
Install Node RED:
To install Node RED, enter the following command in the Terminal:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
This command will install Node RED globally on your NetBSD machine, which means you can run it from any directory.
Verify the installation:
To verify that Node RED is installed correctly, enter the following command in the Terminal:
node-red
This command will start the Node RED server. You should see a message similar to the following:
Welcome to Node-RED
