How to Install & Update n8n Locally

Please hit the like button and subscribe to my channel for n8n content 👍. Also, what are your thoughts on n8n?

[@basilbrush7878]

I've been hoping you would start a series on n8n. I'm particularly interested in its integration with Flowise

[@leonvanzyl]

Getting there 😁.

[@appleestrada6810]

Looking forward to this (flowise + n8n) as well. Been thinking of offering this as an add-on svc to clients but unsure how to do it for them.

[@thereal_JMT_]

given how good the AI Agent functions within n8n are getting, there might not be much need for flowise within n8n they are somewhat competitors in that space

[@unokometanti8922]

@@thereal_JMT_ absolutely on spot!....I was just about to ask: I want to leverage on local LLM capabilities (Ollama, LM Studio and the like)....which option would you recommend? a) flowise b) n8n c) both! -------> this begs for a feature-set comparison (convergence or overlap?)

[@Ethiventure]

@@leonvanzylyes I have n8n and Flowise installed locally on my MacBook now. My first question is when would you choose just Flowise, just n8n, or integrating both? What’s your decision making process?

[@JunkMail-mn1ro]

TY- A lot of of us that have been watching the no-code/low code space carefully had arrived at n8n. We would be very grateful to see you expand on this. Ideas: 1. Simple design of the Webhook to capture a forwarded audio file and have it summarized. 2. Webhook to capture a KZbin URL, summarize and forward to Notion. Thank you for taking an interest in the space!

[@leonvanzyl]

Excellent ideas!! Thank you. Keep the ideas coming 💪

[@lorenzograna8287]

I have been waiting for a good level n8n tutorial for a long time, the time has come.

[@SimonStJohn]

Cant wait for this series..thanks Leon!😊

[@legendarystuff6971]

perfect timing. I just reinstalled my OS and looking to get back into n8n. I am surprised that there aren't more videos about it as it is such a banger

[@leonvanzyl]

I know. It's such a great platform.

[@Watsoniuswatsoni]

Yes!! I am here for the whole ride!

[@DesignDesigns]

I love both Flowise and N8N.....Amazing tools.

[@leonvanzyl]

They compliment each other really well too. I like calling advanced Flowise flows from n8n.

[@JPBCDE]

Yay! thank you very much!

[@leonvanzyl]

You're welcome 🤗

[@maniecronje]

Awesome was looking fwd to this one!

[@leonvanzyl]

More to come!

[@maury1329]

Great topic! I just planned to seriously start with n8n, after reading its docs and experimenting with its self-hosting. I hope you can include Coolify as one of the cloud deployment methods. I've learned a lot from your tutorials. Thank you!!

[@leonvanzyl]

I've been playing with Coolio myself. I probably won't include Coolio in this series, as I think Coolio deserves its own videos 😁.

[@tecnopadre]

Can't wait for those series. I've been struggling with a RAG using local vector storage instead of Pinecone. I can't seem to get it working because of the Q&A answer variable chain.

[@GucciDGIxOption]

Thanks sharing.

[@leonvanzyl]

You're welcome 🤗

[@boramz1]

Leon N8N is so underrated and under represented in Tutorial videos. @Leonvanzyl really good to see an excellent and popular youtuber like you take on N8N. Thank you!

[@leonvanzyl]

Thank you!

[@fiveofknives]

dude what is this timing! i just started using n8n :) i guess ill just follow along as you post!

[@leonvanzyl]

Great minds think alike 🤣

[@fiveofknives]

@@leonvanzyl BTW man ive sent multiple messages via your contact form on your site. and i cannot message you on X :P any ideas on how we can work together / get in touch?

[@The-ism-of-isms]

N8n is now becoming expensive. I wish you would do an open source alternative like Node red. Imagine flowise + node red combo , isn't it gonna be a killer open source combo.

[@leonvanzyl]

Why don't you just self host n8n?

[@The-ism-of-isms]

@@leonvanzyl oh wa8 a min so when we self host n8n will it be free and do we get every features without any restrictions too? Please educate me Leon

[@leonvanzyl]

@@The-ism-of-isms I actually just posted a video on self hosting. It's not free, but it's WAY cheaper than the cloud service.

[@The-ism-of-isms]

@@leonvanzyl oh OK got it I will check out

[@tecnopadre]

I can't beleive it Leon, this weekend I've isntalled n8n for the first time and fighting with it, I'll watch your video, as usual and post some comments. Before that I can tell that after using a lot Flowise, n8n enters on my servers because I can install it locally no cost and has (looks like) more functions around than flowise, even though the learn curve it's slower because of the use of variables. What do you think?

[@tamashi858]

Thanks so much Leon !! This is exactly the series I was hoping for ! I was about to learn how to use Make, but I will follow your n8n series with pleasure. Do you think n8n is as accessible for non-tech profiles as Flowise can be?

[@leonvanzyl]

Absolutely! I'm hoping to make n8n accessible to non-coders and coders via my series... just like I did with Flowise.

[@tamashi858]

@@leonvanzyl Thanks a lot for everything you do ! You help me a lot !

[@slddive9025]

So, what's the difference between n8n and Flowise? Is the difference that n8n is applications centric where Flowise is LLM centric?

[@ward_jl]

I'm very much looking forward to this series. I'm especially interested in leveraging the strengths of both Flowise (agentic workflows) and n8n (process automation) together.

[@leonvanzyl]

Exactly! I love combining n8n and Flowise. n8n's native AI features are really powerful, but adding Flowise can definitely take it to the next level.

[@--INDIAN--TRADER]

hi today i recieved lifetime access key there is offer going on ... thanks a ton after filling the second form

[@leolr111]

Sorry for my ignorance (and my english), I'm newbie about using ai tools, but, can I crrate a workflow for automatic responses in WhatsApp? 😅

[@leonvanzyl]

Absolutely! I will create a WhatsApp charbot tutorial soon.

[@leolr111]

@@leonvanzyl I'll wait for that, I'm pretty sure that will be excepcional :)

[@consig1iere294]

Is n8n similar or an alternate to Flowise? Thanks.

[@leonvanzyl]

n8n is a workflow automation platform, so from a features perspective it's closer to Zapier, Power Automate or Make.com. n8n does include AI features which I'll cover in this tutorial series. So yes, it can do some of the things that Flowise can do as well - like you can create RAG charbots and autonomous agents. Flowise offers way more flexible for creating advanced AI solutions, so it's very common to combine FW and n8n.

[@luisignaciosuarez]

@@leonvanzyl So, if I use Flowise for RAG and chatbots, is it better to start using N8n instead of Flowise?

[@abedmalak_]

How to host on railway or the like, and is it cheaper self hosted? Or better to keep n8n cloud

[@leonvanzyl]

It's definitely cheaper to self host. Of course, there many other benefits for using the n8n cloud service as well, especially in terms of scaling and some advanced features.

[@abedmalak_]

@@leonvanzyl thanks for your new video!!!!!

[@tigress1girl]

is there a way to sync google tasks and google sheets for free? I've been looking everywhere for this and can't find anything yet (I have no knowledge in coding)

[@leonvanzyl]

N8n would be perfect for you then. Even Makes.com would work. It doesn't involve any coding.

[@SebKrogh]

Is it possible to do image generation through n8n? Maybe by calling a replicate api?

[@leonvanzyl]

Absolutely!

[@SebKrogh]

@@leonvanzyli just didn't find any nodes that allowed for it. And not really that good with api's but I need to get gut! 😅

[@abedmalak_]

How much does it cost on average per operation or execution ( if hosted online)

[@leonvanzyl]

The monthly fee is a flat rate.

[@nufh]

What's the different with Flowise?

[@ashred9665]

n8n sits closer to the data and provides more control along with automation features.

[@NobtechAI]

how make a bot live with meta using webhook n8n please help?

[@leonvanzyl]

I will create a video on integrating n8n with Whatsapp 👍

[@moonduckmaximus6404]

WHAT IN HELL DID I JUST WATCH? WHERE IS THE REST OF THE VIDEO??

[@leonvanzyl]

Lol, it's a series of videos.
