Node red embedded into signalk

[sbender]

Anyone having any luck installing nodes? I have the dashboard working, it installed fine but getting errors trying to install sqlite or serial..

Code:

pi@openplotter:~/.signalk/red $ npm install node-red-node-sqlite
npm ERR! path /home/pi/.signalk/red/node_modules/node-red-node-sqlite/package.json
npm ERR! code ELOOP

And huge thanks for this, really useful

I don't have an issues installing:

Code:

$ npm install node-red-node-sqlite

> sqlite3@4.0.0 install /Users/sbender/.signalk/red/node_modules/sqlite3
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

[sqlite3] Success: "/Users/sbender/.signalk/red/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/node-v57-darwin-x64/node_sqlite3.node" is installed via remote

Something strange about your setup.

Are we sure ~/.signalk is the right place. I'm not sure if that is somewhere else for openplotter. Sailoog?

Something strange with symbolic links going on here?
