Node-RED is a programming tool designed to enable visual programming for connecting APIs, devices, and online services. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Node-RED on your Windows 10 machine.
Before installing Node-RED, you need to install Node.js. Node-RED is built on top of Node.js, so we need to install it first. You can download it from the official Node.js website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/. Follow the instructions to install Node.js on your Windows 10 machine.
Once you've installed Node.js, you can use npm (Node Package Manager) to install Node-RED globally on your machine. Here is the command to install Node-RED:
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
This command will install Node-RED on your machine globally.
Once you've installed Node-RED, you can start it by running the following command:
node-red
This command will start Node-RED on your machine. Open up your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:1880 to access the Node-RED editor.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Node-RED on your Windows 10 machine. With Node-RED, you can easily create complex flows that connect APIs, devices, and online services. Happy programming!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
