How to install new nodes.is there a wrong installation of node red in Openplotter

[PaddyB]

Hi!

I try to install additional nodes in node-red. e.g. openweather .

It ends with a fault.

I tried:

mkdir /home/pi/freeback
sudo mv /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-freeboard /home/pi/freeback/
sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.bin/
cd /home/pi/.node-red
npm install node-red-node-mysql
sudo mv /home/pi/freeback/node-red-contrib-freeboard /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/
sudo reboot



In the terminal window it showed:

pi@openplotter:~ $ mkdir /home/pi/freeback
mkdir: das Verzeichnis „/home/pi/freeback“ kann nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits
pi@openplotter:~ $ sudo mv /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-freeboard /home/pi/freeback/
pi@openplotter:~ $ sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.bin/
pi@openplotter:~ $ cd /home/pi/.node-red
pi@openplotter:~/.node-red $ npm install node-red-node-mysql
node-red-project@0.0.1 /home/pi/.node-red
└── node-red-node-mysql@0.0.16 

npm WARN node-red-project@0.0.1 No repository field.
npm WARN node-red-project@0.0.1 No license field.
pi@openplotter:~/.node-red $ sudo mv /home/pi/freeback/node-red-contrib-freeboard /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/
pi@openplotter:~/.node-red $ sudo reboot



After a reboot I still can't install node from "user settings - palette - install" within node-red.

Where is my mistake?

Just tried installing mysql from the manage palette menu, worked OK.
One difference is that the owner of /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/.bin/  is root.
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Jul 29 10:07 .bin

I don't have freeboard installed.
