Raspberry Pi not showing Aedes node

[adamelli]

When searched on Node-Red Palette, no aedes or "node-red-contrib-aedes" shows up. I tried downloading it via the command prompt of my Raspberry Pi Zero:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm install node-red-contrib-aedes
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm WARN pi No description
npm WARN pi No repository field.

+ node-red-contrib-aedes@0.5.0

Anything obvious that should be done?

npm init package.json and npm init /home/pi/package.json result in errors.

Before that I ran bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

I'm not sure how else I should download nodejs 14.16.0 LTS.

What are the nodejs and Node-RED versions you use? If you want to install a node from the command line make sure you are in the correct folder $HOME/.node-red.

Could you post the results of node -v, npm -v and node-red -v, please?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v 6.14.10 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v v12.20.1 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node-red -v

Node-RED version: v1.2.9 Node.js version: v12.20.1 Linux 5.10.11+ arm LE

I am not sure why the node does not show up in your Palette. Are you able to install other nodes? Did you try to install the node in the folder $HOME/.node-red instead of $HOME?

[adamelli]

Yes, I can install other nodes.

I did not try that. Instead I just used Mosquitto broker.

[martin-doyle]

OK. Sorry to hear that. Can we close the issue?
