I am trying to install the Victron package node-red-contrib-victron from (https://github.com/victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron). I have included “npm_packages”: “node-red-contrib-victron”, in my node-red config file however I get:
‘[15:26:01] INFO: Starting installation of custom NPM/Node-RED packages…

[15:26:09] FATAL: Failed to install a specified npm package’
The package cannot be installed as the package hasn’t been registered in the NPM Registry. The log file suggests that I can install it from either tarball, folder, http url, or git url.
I would really like to know how to install it from either a folder or tarball as I would like to customize it a little to fit my specific requirements. I haven’t been able to find out how to specify a folder or tarball for the “npm packages” in the config file. Any help would be appreciated
