Node Red Install on Ar300M difficulty

I need Node Red (IBM Flow software for iot) installed but I need NPM (Node Package Manager ) . The App repo has Node.js but no NPM app . I tried opkg install npm. If you can help appreciate it. Thank You Jason

NodeRED is probably better hosted outside of the AR300M - the OpenWRT packages are old …

Consider a Raspberry Pi - they’re must close to current, and a working install there

Thank You sfx2000 for your input. I’m thinking that way now !

You’ll likely be in better shape with the Pi’s - as it’s part of their reason for being, and actively maintained.

All the best
