Your version of npm is too old.

It is worth trying again after you have upgraded npm to v2 ( and NOT v3) as per the instructions here http://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi. (look at the "adding nodes" section)

You don't say how old your installation of node-red is  

The latest version is v0.13.3 if your version of node-red is significantly older than that it might new worth upgrading that at the same time.

If you get stuck, come back to this thread...

I love, love, love node-red. That said, the issues around having to use old versions of node.js, old version of NPM, and broken NPM installations with gyp is very frustrating.

When there is a gap in my time between the last time I chased down installing say a grovepi, board onto a raspberry pi, all these issues raise their head again, and I find myself spending hours attempting to find the solutions to getting node-red packages installed and working on an additional raspberry pi.

Is there a plan to move node-red to a more current release of node.js and the latest NPM and fix whatever the mystery is with node-gyp?

The kind of archaeological searches in google to find solutions to simply install a node-red package is exhausting.

Hi David,

Node-RED supports all the latest versions of node/npm.

The problem is that the only version of node that is properly packaged for the Pi is 0.10 - so that is what our preinstalled version has to use. Upgrading that is out of our hands - Raspbian gets it from Debian stable, which isn't due to update until the end of the year. We are equally frustrated by this and will be discussing options with the Raspberry Pi guys in the near future.

This is also why we provide comprehensive instructions for updating your version of node etc in the docs that Mark linked to.

Nick
