Waiting for missing types to be registered: - embedded-linux

Question

I'm trying to run node-red on a Moxa UC8112, which has no graphics whatsoever and run completely through SSH command line.
I have tried to register and fix the node_modules with "npm install request" and "npm audit fix", but still receive the "Waiting for missing types to be registered:" error.
My command prompt is as follows:
moxa#Moxa:~/.node-red$
moxa#Moxa:~/.node-red$ npm install request
+ request#2.88.0

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

I expect it to be an issue possibly with how I installed the node_modules? Even though I made sure to "npm install " in the .node-red directory.

In order to move a flow from one instance of Node-RED to another you need to ensure that all the nodes used are installed on the target system.
You can either install them via the manage pallet option in the menu or with npm on the command line.
The easiest way is probably to copy the package.json file from the .node-red directory on the source system to the . node-red directory on the target and then run npm install while in the same directory.
