node-red-contrib-mysensors release thread

What I did way back when I got it up and running in docker, was to jump into the container shell, and install the package manually (So you are using the same node.js version that node-red is using).

You could also (in that docker shell) do a apt install (given that it builds upon a debian based image).

something in the line of:

$ docker exec -it <id of container running node-red> /bin/bash
# now you are in docker..
$ apt install build-essentials
$ cd <to your node-red data directory>
$ npm install node-red-contrib-mysensors
$ exit

Above is taken purely from what I think is the right commands, as I have not tried working with home-assistant for a while.

apt install build-essentials

I think I have not the apt inside of Node_red docker.

Can I install it from outside in this case.
Sorry but I'm very beginner so I need some basic info in this case.

Thanks a lot again

In Home Assistant you have the Node Red configuration (under supervisor). There you can add packages to be installed under system_packages: []

Thanks a lot again

Shouldn't it be

build-essentials

?

build-essentials

I try it but it give me same errore.

I think that that package must be here in this link like the error log tell
Do you have Home Assistant installed ? if yes... do you have this "essentials" installed also ?
Thanks again
Denis

Yes I have home assistant but don't have the build essentials. I did some more reading and it seems like a package of build tools. Perhaps @tbowmo knows which specific one is needed?

[DenisJ]

No problem @electrik I have already set the Node-Red to translate my node sensor in human leggibile data :-)

And now I can see it like this:

All ok and thanks a lot for the help

@electrik

When I said that you needed the package "build-essentials" I assumed that you where running on a barebone ubuntu distribution, and not in docker. This complicates things, but it seems that others do have the same issue with node-red and sqlite on home-assistant forum.

One solution is given here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-get-access-to-sqlite-on-hassio/241439/3

As said earlier I do not know anything about the internals in home-assistant and their specific docker / node-red setup.
