Installing node-red using OpenFlow scripts

Kamran_Ahmed · July 10, 2023, 6:11pm

Hey guys.

https://openflow.openiap.io/npmnodered is not accessible anymore. Throws off a 404 Error.

This is from where I got instructions for installing node-RED’s web-environment. The page had different command prompt lines to install the OpenFlow environment files, NodeJS, Chocklatey, and directives to sign in into node-RED server using CLI.

I have a new machine and thus need to install everything but I’m not being able to do so as the command line prompts are missing.

Possible solutions?

you can still see them in github, if you go back some commit’s …
But there is a reason it was remvoed. You should use the docker version, using npm is not supported any more.

here is one version from a former commit

github.com

open-rpa/openflow/blob/50dc7126f828522c7d20662d665828f170b82cb9/docs/npmnodered.md

# deploy openflow nodered using NPM

#### Quick start running openflow nodered using npm on windows

This require you to have openflow installed somewhere, or you can use our public openflow at [app.openiap.io](https://app.openiap.io) (noderedremote.env)

Create a user for the nodered in openflow, you will need the username and password for this user in the last step

[Install Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install) 

open a command prompt as admin

install nodejs LTS 14

```
choco install nodejs-lts
```

install openflow-nodered command line
`npm i @openiap/nodered -g`
