Fail to install on node-red 3.0.2

[AlbertoRubinelli]

I have worked with this node with the previous version of node-red, (1 and 2) installed on some raspberry.
Now I'm setting up a new machine for node-red, with an x86 platform and node-red 3.0.2: I have installed a lot of nodes that I normally use, but only trying to install ewelink node, I receive an error message.
I've try some times, with the same effect.
The logs below have not help me to understand the problem.
Any idea ? Thanks in advance

Same with me. on NodeRed 3.0.2
Earlier on same version it was installing but after sometime disappears automatically leaving nodes on flows us unknown nodes. I updated core-js to [email protected]. Now it wont install at all.

Update: Jan 4, 2023 - Node is present in NodeRed now. Dont know how. May be everything was reset after a Pi reboot.

[AlbertoRubinelli]

The solution to my problem was very simple : install the github package.
apt install github
Now my node-red is working fine from weekes
