Pretend I know nothing about Linux or Node-RED… When below says to “run the command in your Node-RED user directory”, where exactly _is_ my node-red user directory? I installed node-red from this script: [Running on Raspberry Pi : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi) And trying to add the node-red Ignition nodes from: > **[node-red-contrib-ignition-nodes](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ignition-nodes)** > > Adds support for reading and writing to tags in Ignition ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/d/cde9badfd4370470e5e7344847e7d7937531052c.png) I ran this from here: `/usr/lib/node_modules` and it added a new folder, but the node didn’t appear in the nodes list… and from what it looks like, it should be in a different directory 🤔 Where’s the “in over my head” with a straw to breathe emoticon? ---

Nvm, I got it… I needed to be in: `/usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/node_modules` and then run that command. I also needed to stop and start node red to get it to show up (clearly I have no idea what I’m doing 🙂 )
