How to Compile Node-RED from GitHub on Windows and Perform Offline Installation
This guide walks through cloning the Node-RED source, installing dependencies, building and running it locally on Windows, packaging the project, and then installing Node and deploying the packaged Node-RED on an offline server.
1. Clone the Node-RED repository from GitHub on a machine that can access the internet:
git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.git2. Transfer the cloned source to the Windows machine, open a command prompt in the project directory, and install required dependencies: npm install 3. Build the source code: npm run build 4. After a successful build, start the application to verify it runs locally: npm start 5. Package the entire project directory into a zip archive.
6. On the target server without internet access, download a Node.js installer from the official website, copy both the Node installer and the zipped Node-RED package to the server, and install Node.
7. Extract the archive on the server, open a command prompt in the extracted folder, and launch Node-RED: npm start The application starts successfully, completing an offline migration of Node-RED.
