I just use the arduino IDE to install it.

But you seem to be missing the port...

thanks Dave I was able to find the usb once I installed the particular usb driver. But I believe the issue I'm having now is that node-red is only associating to one particular Arduino and blocking any other connections. Is there a way around this?
