After confirming that node runs correctly, Node-RED is installed globally with npm, using the --unsafe-perm flag to avoid permission issues: npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red Node-RED is then started simply by executing: node-red Finally, the firewall must allow traffic on port 1880; once opened, the Node-RED editor can be accessed via http://<server_ip>:1880. An illustration of the opened port is shown below.
