Error: spawn lftp ENOENT
JohnnyPicnic opened this issue · comments
Running Node-RED version: v0.20.5, Node.js version: v10.23.1, Linux 4.14.138 arm LE
This embedded so I don't have control over the versions.
Manually installed lftp and it's dependencies.
Getting Error: spawn lftp ENOENT on any command.
Sounds like the lftp binary isn’t in the PATH?
I need some help with how to fix that.
Where did you place the binary on the fs?
/opt/ with a sym link to /usr/lib/node_modules/
I'm following the instructions given here:
https://icr.advantech.cz/support/faq/detail/building-the-custom-nodes-for-node-js-node-red
That’s where you placed the lftp binary or this project?
The device doesn't have the palette manager so I installed the node by placing it in /opt with a link to /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/nodes
Then restart Node-Red. If all the dependencies are met then the node installs.
Don't know if this helps:

There are 2 things that need to be installed:
- the lftp binary (usually installed using the system package manager)
- this plugin
I think you’ve successfully done the latter but have missed the first step.
Thanks for the help. The os doesn't have a package manager but the do provide a way to install custom Apps (user modules).
You are likely stuck then :( as pre-requesite this module depends on the lftp binary.
Yes I believe I am. Thank again for your help.
