Node Red In A Jail

[Soloam]

I'm trying to install node red in a jail, but it keep getting this error:

Code:

Code:

v10.1.0
root@nodered:/ # npm -v

Any idea?
Thank you

Just for S&G, I wonder if it works fine with Node v8.

Can you try perhaps v8 instead of v10 node?

A lot of warnings in the install to upgrade for safty reasons, but it works, its running:

Code:

pkg install node8
pkg install npm-node8

So the last version does not work in FreeBSD?

thank you

So, I don't know much about node.js at all. However, I did some reading about it when I saw your post, and everything I've found on node-red referred to version 6 or 8 LTS for the underlying node. Literally everything.

I therefore suspected that it was node-red itself that may be expecting version 8.

I don't have a better explanation than that, unfortunately---you should do some research with the node-red guys; I would doubt it's FreeBSD's fault. I am glad, though, that my suggestion at least gets you going with a working install.
