Install Node-RED
Installing Node-RED on Raspberry Pi
Prerequisites
Ensure npm is able to build any binary modules it needs to install.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Download and installation

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
Due to the limited memory of the Raspberry Pi, you will need to start Node-RED with an additional argument to tell the underlying Node.js process to free up unused memory sooner than it would otherwise.
node-red-pi --max-old-space-size=256
Autostart on boot
Run Node-RED when the Pi is turned on, or re-booted, enable the service to autostart by running the command:
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
Check the installation
Make sure NodeRed is correctly installed by reaching the following page from the broswer of your pi : http://localhost:1880.
