Lightning Talk: Node-RED installer, Standalone Installer using Electron

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Claim: packaging Node-RED, Node.js and all connectors into a single offline installer solves closed‑network factory deployment. The project uses Electron-based standalone installer built with electron-builder, produces msi/dmg/deb/rpm, and currently builds on Travis CI while testing GitHub Actions for Windows. A demo uses TensorFlow.js object detection in a Node‑RED flow to trigger a robot arm and the installer launches a tray icon and external flow editor, and Node‑RED shows 31 company logos on its site.
