node-red-start fails

Hans-Joachim Koch asked 2 years ago

Installed node-red according to pages 48 up of the Smart-Home ebook. All runs well, but after “node-red-start” I get the message:

Starting as a systemd service.
nodered.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.
Stopped Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.
Started Node-RED graphical event wiring tool.
/usr/bin/env: »node-red-pi«: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
nodered.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
nodered.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’.

That is repeated over and over again.
Same command with sudo node-red-start gives:

sudo node-red-start
Node-RED is not yet fully installed. Please re-run the install script again manually.
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
then retry node-red-start

Its absolutely the same command I used without sudo.
I have node-red running on another Pi without problems,
Google gives no useful information, old messages from 2015 and so on.

Any advice? Thank you.

Hi.
To be honest, I’m not sure what it’s causing that.
I would suggest reinstalling the operating system and starting again from the beginning.
Regards,
Sara

Hi Sara,
as Google wrote, more people have this problem. But all suggested solutions could not solve my problem. Reinstallation is not possible because a lot of software is already installed on this Raspberry and I don’t want to lose it. Thanks for your answer. Please close this topic.
Regards, Hajo.

Oh no.
But did you find any solution then?

Hi Sara,
I wanted to save on a raspberry that only runs node-red and broker and additionally install both on another raspberry. Unfortunately, that went terribly wrong. I leave everything as is, one raspberry for other applications and one just for node-red and broker.
Regards, Hajo.
