Node-RED的安装

最近对Node-RED比较感兴趣，因为在上OpenHarmony课程的时候，一直想找一个可以通过MQTT控制设备的低代码客户端解决方案。第一次指导Node-RED是在试用聆思开发板的时候，它的云端就是使用的Node-RED。

在安装Node-RED之前，请确保您的系统已安装Node.js（建议版本8.x LTS及以上）。如果没有NodeJS，可以参考NodeJS入门（一）---nodejs详细安装步骤_node.js-CSDN博客。

对于Node.js的包管理器（npm）用户，打开终端或命令提示符。运行以下命令以全局安装Node-RED：

npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

安装完成后，通过运行以下命令启动Node-RED：

node-red

程序执行会产生如下log： 

C:\Users\Administrator>node-red

---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

使用浏览器访问 http://127.0.0.1:1880/就可以看到Node-RED界面。在左侧的模块栏中可以找到mqtt、http等网络模块。后面我们就可以尝试用Node-RED去控制OpenHarmony的端侧设备。

设置好发布端的MQTT对象，后面就是
