+node-red-node-junction
+======================
+
+A Node-RED node to allow flows containing junctions to be imported into older versions
+of Node-RED.
+
+The ability to create junctions was introduced in Node-RED 3.0.0, adding a new core
+node type called `junction`.
+
+This module provides its own `junction` node type that can be installed into older
+versions of Node-RED to allow them to run flows containing that type.
+
+The module will only register the type if it detects it is being loaded into
+Node-RED version 2 or older, otherwise it does nothing.
+
+
+Install
+-------
+
+Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically `~/.node-red`
+
+    npm i node-red-node-junction
