Can't install NodeRed IoT nodes

Software IoT Cloud
1

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I'm not sure where else to ask.

I have installed NodeRed on a RPi, as I'd like to use it to do some signal processing, and pass values to/from Arduino IoT, but I'm getting an error trying to install the module through NodeRed's Pallette Manager.

This is the error from the NodeRed log -

Does anybody have any suggestions?

So it turns out that if you don't install NodeRed via Docker, you get the above issue.

I re-installed NodeRed in a Docker Container, and the IoT module installed without any problems
