Hi,

In Openflow - Agend, the OS name shows “Linux,” but I am using “Windows” only. Due to this, I can’t execute any command in the exec node to do activity in Windows OS. Getting,  
/bin/bash: line 1: command not found. error.

nodered is running in the same environment as openflow ( in this case a kubernetes cluster in google’s cloud )  
if you want to run nodered on your local machine, you need to instal nodeagent or use the assistant  
I demo this in this video

and you can read more about how to.  
By combining the information at [GitHub - openiap/nodeagent](https://github.com/openiap/nodeagent) on how to install the agent and [GitHub - openiap/noderedagent](https://github.com/openiap/noderedagent) on how to build and deploy the nodered package to the agents.
