Installation of a palette?

vincen · January 8, 2025, 3:22pm

Hi

I try to install a palette in my Node-Red add-on in HAOS but it fails. It looks like it’s unable to install python dependency. Is there a way to go around ? or it’s a dead-end with Node-Red on HAOS ?
Palette I try to install: node-red-contrib-socketcan (node) - Node-RED
Logs of install in node-red of the palette:

Looks like something failed to build before and now you have a half installation of that node module B-Crypt — you might want to delete that folder and verify that the compile works next time.

Some nodes require additional modules that do not auto install. You will need to go to the configuration page of the addon. Where it says system packages, add the name of each package in the link above. They will show as little bubbles. Then save and restart.

The HA add-on for Node-RED is a modified and cutdown package of Node-RED that contains the executable code but does not include the source. The big one that is missing from the NR package is a link to Python, so any palette install of nodes where npm needs to build the executable from the node source is likely to fail.

There are a couple of ways around this. The “best” answer is to run Node-RED independently on, for example, a Raspberry Pi. I have installed the exact node you are trying to instal without any issue.

Another answer is to load up Python and other missing packages into Node-RED

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/cannot-install-nodered-with-additional-package/718007/2?u=biscuit

There are various discussion posts with ‘lists’ of the extra packages required, and clearly you don’t want to add stuff you don’t need, so perhaps some experimentation adding python3 then make / gcc / g++ if required…

Some have had success:

I managed to get it sorted - just add python3 to system packages. I also needed make, gcc, g++ and libc-dev to get it to install.

Settings > Addons > Node-RED > Configuration

system_packages:

python3

make

gcc

g++

libc-dev
