Install Node-RED

1. Download and run the Node-RED installation script:

   bash <(curl -sL https://github.com/node-red/linux-installers/releases/latest/download/update-nodejs-and-nodered-deb)

   tip

   Check the actual current release asset name/URL before running this — release filenames on the node-red/linux-installers GitHub repository have changed between versions.

2. Enable the Node-RED service to start automatically on boot:

   sudo systemctl enable nodered.service

3. Reboot the system to complete the installation:

   sudo reboot

4. Now, you can access Node-RED at this address: http://[TARGET IP ADDRESS]:1880/
