The npm Router App serves as the official package manager for Node.js, enabling
users to manage Node.js modules and packages directly on their Advantech
routers. While Advantech provides the npm tool as a feature, it's important to
note that the company does not offer technical support for nodes installed
using this utility. Given that the router environment is embedded, using npm
comes with certain limitations and potential risks that users should be aware
of. To ensure a smooth and secure experience, we strongly recommend reading
Chapter 5.5 of the Node-RED Application Note before utilizing this tool. This
section provides crucial guidelines and best practices for using npm in the
context of embedded router systems.
