Node-red and the new firmware
Hello
Few weeks ago I decided to update the firmware in our PLCNext
I dont know if is related to the update or not, but we lost all procedures made before. Including the instalation of Nodered, Optware, etc
Well, we decided to install all again
According with the procedureAccording with the procedure

Now, if I try run the code below, on Putty returns as bad address 'http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org'
wget -O - http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/optware-ng/bootstrap/buildroot-armeabihf-bootstrap.sh | sh
Picture attached
Is the same product, same infrastructure, same configuration made before (IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway)
Please, have any addicional configuration or procedure to fix it ?

Hi Ricardo,
It worked for me just now (see below).
I have heard of others having problems with that site. I don't know how reliable it is.
You could try installing node.js and npm from the PLCnext Store. This would avoid the third-party package manager entirely.
Hello Martin.
and what is the next step after the wget -0 .....
I have previously installed node.js from the Plcnext store, but then, what must i do?
Hi Michel,
I'm afraid that I haven't installed node.js from the PLCnext Store, but this is now probably the best way to get node and npm on the PLC.
After installing the node.js app from the PLCnext Store, you should be able to run npm to install packages like node-red. If this does not work, please contact the developer of the node.js app through the PLCnext Store by clicking the "Contact Developer" link on the top right of the node.js App page in the Store (I think you need to be logged in to do this). The resulting window looks like a live chat session. It's not, but the app author will be notified of your question and hopefully will respond. If he doesn't, please let me know and I'll give him a nudge.
