A virtual environment is just a way of isolating a Python-based runtime. The environment locks down which instance of the Python interpreter will be used, plus that interpreter gets its own copy of any installed Python modules.
Node Red uses the node interpreter, not the Python interpreter. You install it using a node tool such as npm. Just install it as per their instructions. Same with installing it as a systemd service. The two systems are really completely independent of each other. I'm not sure I've answered your question. If not, give it another try. -tk On Fri, Jun 14, 2024 at 7:04 AM bgra...@umw.edu <bgrat...@umw.edu> wrote: > I have successfully set up 5.0 on a test RPI5 connected to a second VP2 > console.
