Node-red-contrib fs

[Desmond-Zeh]

Hello!
I've installed the Node-red-contrib fs but unfortunately for me, I can't find it when I open node-red. Please how do I resolve this failure.

Software	Version
Node.JS	20.14.0
npm	10.8.1
Node-RED	3.1.11
fs node	Not found
OS	Windows 11 Pro
Browser	Firefox 127.0.2 (32-bit)

Note that a browser version less than current-2 or IE < v11 very unlikely to work.

How is Node-RED installed? Where is uibuilder installed?

Often, issues with nodes occur because of non-standard installations.
This may still indicate a bug so it is fine to report an issue. Just be sure you understand the consequences of how you have installed things.

A very common set of issues come from installing nodes as root instead of the user that runs Node-RED (e.g. using sudo on Mac/Linux). You will most likely be asked to undo that before we can analyse the issue.

Also quite common is to install the uibuilder node in the wrong folder. It is best to install using the Node-RED admin interface "Manage Palette". If installing manually, make sure you are in your userDir folder before installing (typically ~/.node-red).

Hi, please open a command line at your Node-RED userDir (usually ~/.node-red) and run npm install node-red-contrib-fs to find out what errors are produced.

If the install works, restart Node-RED AND reload the Editor browser page.
