Kindly please guide me to run the above feature locally in my n8n account, it is not published yet.
Unfortunately I don’t have no coding background and not able to understand the documentation which was provided. This particular feature is used to create or update incoming data from a g sheet to Salesforce. I am not able to insert this operation into my n8n account , that i am using to do this automation. I had github gli installed on my system as per the documentation. from this point on wards i am not able to proceed or understand and complete the task. there is no video out there to show a step by step guidance for a non coder to use the function .
Details for the request??
I am struggling to understand what are the steps that need to be made for pulling this extention or brach that is in git hub and make the operation running in my account.
Hey @Jaison_Joseph! I am afraid, but this still doesn’t answer my question. Anyways, if you want to try out that specific branch locally on your machine, you need to have Node.js, lerna, and git installed on your machine. You can check the instructions and the links for installing these softwares here: Creating Your First Node | Docs
Once you have that, you can clone the repo (download) on your machine running the command git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n.git.
Once you’ve cloned the repo use the command cd n8n to navigate into the project directory. After that run the commands:
I work as remote new SF admin. my org is based in Malaysia, I have been given access to n8n to do automation and it is first time in my life i am doing an integration.that why I assumed it is cloud version.
This part of downloading is confusing (you need to have Node.js, lerna, and git installed on your machine. You can check the instructions and the links for installing these softwares here: [Creating your first node | Docs]) Do i need to write any commands or code to install the above… Do i use Cmd.exe …

What Node.js version do you use? If it is anything except v14 you should try with that one. Also important to use npm version 6 (version 7 messes stuff up at least on Linux very bad).
You have exactly the same problem as described here: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/issues/1693
and exactly the same problem I had last week when I was using npm@7.
The problems disappeared for both of us as soon as we used npm@6. So if you have the same problem also with npm@6 that is very confusing (as it is only a known issue for that external package that n8n uses with npm@7).
The only other thing I can advise then is to create a development environment in Docker with Ubuntu where it runs for sure. Sorry.
hmmm … How do I create a development environment in Docker with ubuntu?.. Can a non developer do it without any prior knowledge. Any simple and clear documentation to do this task…
