Cannot install community node anymore

Describe the problem/error/question

Community node is not available anymore:
I have two instances basically: local for development and cloud for staging/prod.
I had two different versions and in local I was able to download a community node to extract text from a docx file. After the update the install button is gone and I cannot find a way to install the community node anymore. n8n-nodes-docx-converter

There is no install button and if I try to search for the node in “nodes” in a workflow, it doesn’t show up. GUI installation | n8n Docs It seems to me that this doc specification is outdated or there is a bug in my version.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: Version 1.95.3
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Cloud and docker both
  • Operating system: macOS

Hey @Arjan1

I know they recnetly done some changes with community nodes on cloud, but am not sure why this is now blocking install from the GUI, but per the docs you can install manaully

See here:

Hope that helps,

Hey yes, correct, for now until n8n review more community nodes and add them to the approved list for cloud user. Which are accessible in the GUI when selecting nodes etc, you should see a mark which ones are community etc.

Hope this helps,

Samuel
