A friend of mine, Peter Oakes has a series of videos on Youtube covering a lot of the subjects we touch on in here. He’s been tackling my latest Raspberry Pi script – so for those who like their information in video – here’s the latest.

Bummer. So I clearly know less Linux than you, as I had the Node-Red install that came in the RPi Jessie image Ran this script – as root, not thinking I was root. Now the Node-Red that originally came with Jessie is gone and I do not know where to go next to get it installed…
Here’s what I tried:
Manually re-ran each command in the Node_red section of your script
Found the one that failed: “sudo npm install -g node-red-admin”
Created another user.
Gave that user sudoer rights in order to run the sudo command that failed.
Used “sudo su – ” to switch user to the new user.
Re-ran the failing command, but it still fails with this error:
“gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to acccess the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/4.2.6”
And then attempts installation in a temp dev dir… Which succeeds but the install does not seem to be complete…
Where to go with this next?
Well first of all I don’t know enough to be able to handle any situation – using sudo su for example… if you want the script to work you need to follow the instruction from the beginning not in pieves. The original Node-Red is removed as it is not up to date. ignore all “gyp WARM EACCES” they are warnings not errors.
hi
can this be adapted or used as is on the RPi model B?
Thanks
If you’re referring to my script – there are two – one for the Pi1, one for the Pi2. I’ve only tested the Pi1 version on an original Pi A I think as I only have one and really I only did it for completeness as it is so very slow.. but I can’t think of a reason why it would not work on the model B – same processor…
