6 years ago npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/openzwave-shared
The message is pretty clear: the directory permissions are wrong. Use sudo chown -R pi /home/pi/.node-red/ to reassign ownership to the pi user and you should be OK.
BTW, You're trying to install openzwave-shared directly as a node-red dependency. You actually need to do npm install node-red-contrib-openzwave within .node-red instead. This is the node-red binding module that adds the OpenZwave-shared nodes within Node-red.
You can use openZWave through openzwave-shared from within ANY javascript program, if you want to play with node-red (which I strongly suggest for a newcomer!), then you must use the node-red-contrib-openzwave module.

I am unclear as to the meaning of "project directory" so I entered the following command:
cd ~/.node-redThe prompt now looks like:
pi@taboo:~/.node-red $The contents of the directory is as follows:
Upon entering the command:
npm install openzwave-sharedThe following output is generated:

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated as I am about 3 weeks on and off of trying to figure out on my own. Kind Regards -bill
