Describe the problem/error/question
I’m following the node creation guide to build a community node here: Tutorial: Build a declarative-style node | n8n Docs Ive followed all of the steps, but I’m getting hung up on the last step, which should allow me to see my node in a locally running instance of n8n. Ive followed the commands below:
npm install n8n -g
npm run build
npm link
npm link <node-package-name>
but when i run n8n start, I cant find the node in the editor (searching by the node name from the package.json).
I've also tried creating and using the custom directory:
mkdir custom
cd custom
npm init
npm install
n8n start
What is the error message (if any)?
I’m not seeing any errors at any point of the process, so im really not sure whats going wrong.
