752-8303 Edge, NPM & Node Red Local Install

robbudge · October 24, 2023, 2:51pm

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.

## Install Node-Red on CC100 Flash Memory

### [Home](README.md)

### CC100 firmware image version: 04.03.03(25)
[Inspired from Thorgrim Jansrud](https://github.com/thorgrimjansrud/node.js-on-wago-device).

- ! Node.js and Node-Red are installed on the CC100 Flash.
- Check the size of the flash before installing.
- Download from [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/de/download) LTS tar file for Linux Binaries ARMv7 (**node-vxx.xx.xx-linux-armv7l.tar.xz**)
- Download [libatomic](http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-13/libatomic1_13.2.0-4_armhf.deb)

- In example I use **node-v18.18.2-linux-armv7l.tar.xz** and ip **192.168.1.47**
- Change file name and ip for your CC100.
- Download and install [PuTTY](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html).
- PuTTY must in Windows Path.
- Start PuTTY with ip of CC100 (Connection type: `SSH`)
- Enter user `root` and `changed password`
### Create folder for node.js in CC100 (with PuTTY):
