Node-RED Nodes

A collection of nodes for Node-RED. See below for a list.

Installation

Most of these nodes are available as npm packages. See the list below for the npm package names, or search npm.

To install

cd node-red
npm install node-red-node-{*filename*}

This repository acts as an overall store for these nodes - and is no longer intended as a way to install them - unless you really do want some bloat.

To manually install using this repo:

1. cd into the nodes directory of Node-RED
2. Either:

• download the zip of the repository and extract it
• run git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes.git

3. npm install in any of the node subfolders to install individual node's dependencies

Contributing

Now that we support npm installaton of nodes we recommend people post their own via npm. Please read the packaging guide notes.

If you are an IBMer, please contact us directly as the contribution process is slightly different.
