This wiki document explains how to install the package that contains the following modules:
These nodes interact with LogicLab and their aim is to, respectively, read/write a value for a requested symbol target.
Guide
In order to make this package work, you have to install the JavaScript runtime Node.js, the package manager npm and Node-RED.
Note: The package has been developed and tested with v8.11.1 of Node.js and v5.6.0 of npm.
Debian
Install Node.js, npm and Node-RED
If you have a version of Raspbian, or other Debian based install, the following script will add all the required dependencies:
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
When you execute this script, give confirm to install the Pi-specific nodes and - when asked - do not start Node-RED yet.
After that, execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodered
Now you are ready to start Node-RED.
You can check further information here.
