Arduino Firmata Install - Error any help appreciated

[Kaniick]

I want to apologize if this has been address as I have search the group discussions and only items I have found are similar to my problem, but have not yield the error that I am receiving.

I am running a Rpi B+ Raspbian Jessie, Node V0.10.29 and Npm 2.15.6, when attempting to install firmata using cd /node-red and executing the line npm install arduino-firmata, I am given the following error(s)

It seems as if the github that the install is attempting to execute is no longer available (https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/releases/download/3.1.2/serialport-v3.1.2-node-v11-linux-arm.tar.gz). Any help on how I can get arduino firmata installed so that I may use Node-Red to communicate with my Arduino Mega would be helpful and much appreciated.

Thank you

You appear to be installing it in the wrong directory as you should be in the directory /home/pi/.node-red  (the dot is important)

Other than that they lines you posted are what they say "warnings" the fact the lines end with

arduino-firmata@0.3.4 node_modules/arduino-firmata
├── eventemitter2@1.0.3
├── debug@2.2.0 (ms@0.7.1)
└── serialport@3.1.2 (bindings@1.2.1, es6-promise@3.2.1, nan@2.3.3, commander@2.9.0, object.assign@4.0.3)

shows what it installed and it should work.  

You now just need to install in in the right place ;-)

:: SOLVED ::

the directory is cd /.node-red I forgot to put the . in the initial post, but I assure you I made sure to enter it in the terminal

I went ahead a executed the code again, perhaps I overlooked the "." while attempting before, but the arduino modules are there now, I appreciate the help @Mark Setrem Thank you for the help.

That is a very unusual directory. Usually it would be
/home/<username>/.node-red
