# Node-RED
|
|
|
|
A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Check out [INSTALL](INSTALL.md) for full instructions on getting started.
|
|
|
|
1. download the zip and unzip, or git clone
|
|
2. cd node-red
|
|
3. npm install
|
|
4. node red.js
|
|
5. Open <http://localhost:1880>
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
More documentation can be found [here](http://nodered.org/docs).
|
|
|
|
For further help, or general discussion, there is also a [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/node-red).
|
|
|
|
## Browser Support
|
|
|
|
The Node-RED editor runs in the browser. We routinely develop and test using
|
|
Chrome and Firefox. We have anecdotal evidence that it works in IE9.
|
|
|
|
We do not yet support mobile browsers, although that is high on our priority
|
|
list.

### Reporting issues
|
|
|
|
Please raise any bug reports on the project's [issue tracker](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues?state=open).
|
|
Be sure to search the list to see if your issue has already been raised.
|
|
|
|
For feature requests, please raise them on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/node-red)
|
|
first.
|
|
|
|
### Creating new nodes
|
|
|
|
The plugin nature of Node-RED means anyone can create a new node to extend
|
|
its capabilities.
|
|
|
|
We want to avoid duplication as that can lead to confusion. Many of our existing
|
|
nodes offer a starting point of functionality. If they are missing features,
|
|
we would rather extend them than add separate 'advanced' versions. But the key
|
|
to that approach is getting the UX right to not lose the simplicity.
|
|
|
|
We are also going to be quite selective over what nodes are included in the main
|
|
repository - enough to be useful, but not so many that new user is overwhelmed.
|
|
|
|
To contribute a new node, please raise a pull-request against the
|
|
`node-red-nodes` repository.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, the nodes will be npm-installable, but we're not there yet. We'll
|
|
also have some sort of registry of nodes to help with discoverability.
|
|
|
|
### Pull-Requests
|
|
|
|
In order for us to accept pull-requests, the contributor must first complete
|
|
a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This clarifies the intellectual
|
|
property license granted with any contribution. It is for your protection as a
|
|
Contributor as well as the protection of IBM and its customers; it does not
|
|
change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
|
|
|
|
Once you have created a pull-request, we'll provide a link to the appropriate
|
|
CLA document.
|
|
|
|
If you are an IBMer, please contact us directly as the contribution process is
|
|
slightly different.
