Installing Node-RED for Mac
In this section, we will explain how to set up Node-RED in a macOS environment. This procedure is for macOS Mojave. It will likely work for all versions of Mac OS X, but I strongly recommend that you use the current version of macOS.
For macOS, installing Node-RED as a global module adds the node-red command to your system path. Run the following command in the Terminal. You may need to add sudo at the front of the command, depending on your local settings:
$ sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
You can also install Node-RED with other tools. This is mainly for Mac/Linux or the kinds of OS that support the following tools:
- Docker (https://www.docker.com/), if you have the environment for running Docker.
