Node-RED Admin CLI

The Node-RED admin command line interface.

A command line tool for remotely administering Node-RED.

It is built into node-red and can be run as:

Standalone install

Install this globally to make the node-red-admin command available on your path:

Note: you may need to run this with sudo, or from within an Administrator command shell.

You may also need to add --unsafe-perm to the command if you hit permissions errors during installation.
