Hi @Jon @marcus , I’m have git clone the main n8n repo and added a new node folder in n8n/packages/nodes-base/nodes/newnode and added “dist/nodes/newnode/newnode.node.js” to n8n.nodes in
/n8n/packages/nodes-base/package.json

And then i npm build and npm start but it is not appearing in the nodes list, can help me with it?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Jagjit_Singh, you might want to check out n8n/CONTRIBUTING.md at master · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub when working with the current n8n-io/n8n repo. Instead of npm you’d use pnpm for example.

However, if you are simply building custom nodes you might instead want to follow the guide in our docs for this.
