We are working with the distributers of the Node-RED boilerplate on Bluemix to incorporate the Watson service nodes from the Watson Developer Cloud. In the meantime follow these instructions to install node-RED nodes that offer a richer set of Watson capabilities.
A more complete set of Watson services nodes are available from the Watson Developer Cloud. If you wish to use these nodes you will need to modify Node-RED dependencies. These instructions show how to install these contribution nodes into your Node-RED instance on Bluemix. Alternatively you can deploy from the node red bluemix starter repository, which brings in these nodes, along with box and dropbox nodes that the sample flows make use of to feed data into the Watson nodes.
On the Bluemix console, select your Node-RED application. At the top right you will see an "ADD GIT" button.
Click on this button. This will create a GIT repository for your Node-RED instance. Once the repository has been created, the "ADD GIT" button will be replaced with an "Edit Code" button.
Click on the Edit button. The file that you will be changing is "package.json".
Select the file.
Replace the line for node-red-node-watson with a line pointing at the git home for the contribution nodes from Watson Developer Cloud. Add the npm modules for the dropbox and box nodes.
The change is
"node-red-node-watson":"https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/node-red-node-watson.git",
"node-red-node-dropbox":"0.x",
"node-red-node-box":"0.x"
Remember the comma separators at the end of each line except for the last. Save your changes
Deploy your changes
Wait for Node-RED to restart
The updated nodes will then be available for you to use on the palette.
