752-8303 Edge, NPM & Node Red Local Install

Hardware and Linux
1

I am looking to install NPM and Node-Red directly on the PFC, I can see its possible on the Edge Computer but what about the PFC.
I would like to avoid using a docker container to install 3rd party software.
What Linux Base version is used and what would the Installer be

EdgeComputer is Debian distro, but TP-panels and EdgeController is not a standard Linux-distro (I believe).

NAME=PTXdist
VERSION="2020.08.0"
ID=ptxdist
VERSION_ID="2020.08.0"
PRETTY_NAME="PTXdist / WAGO-TP"
ANSI_COLOR="1;34"

PTXDIST_VERSION="2020.08.0"
PTXDIST_BSP_VENDOR="WAGO"
PTXDIST_BSP_NAME="TP"
PTXDIST_BSP_VERSION="TP-trunk"
PTXDIST_PLATFORM_NAME="vtp-ctp"
PTXDIST_PLATFORM_VERSION="-trunk"
PTXDIST_BUILD_DATE="2023-06-22T21:38:49+0000"

Why wouldn’t you use Docker? Node-RED is already “3rd party” software from Wago pov.

It is possible using libatomic, here are the steps for CC100/PFC.
