n8n Nodemation basic - getting started on the workflow canvas (1/3) (Tutorial)

[@georgi_gradev]

These tutorials are very helpful. I watched most of the videos on the n8n KZbin channel but yours are giving a clearer and practical perspective. I think that I understand the basics much better. Thank you, Sven :)

[@joseantoniosanchezvazquez1906]

Thanks Sven. You can scroll horizontally the screen in your PC using Shift key + Mouse Wheel 😉👍

Hi Bro, it would be great if you can make a video on How to install n8n on digital ocean server. Can you please make a video :)

[@chrisder1814]

hello I had an idea regarding image processing, can you help me understand if this idea is feasible?

[@pleabargain]

12:50 the wheels are called GEARS (rhymes with YEARS) as in the gears on a bike... first gear, second gear etc.

[@rachadlakis1]

You can go up and down by pressing the mouse wheel.

[@chrisder1814]

hello, do you know api connector? do you use AI for coding? can I find "templates" ?

[@pleabargain]

7:10 on windows 11, hold cntrl key and left click drag

[@jonasfelix7700]

Absolutely amazing, but I would call the "Regular Nodes" Action node :-)

[@svenjanssen7024]

Thanks :) Maybe you want to post it as a change request to the forums on n8n.io.

Do we have to use only Javascript while writing our codes?

[@KaiBuskirk]

Danke!!

[@michaelkaplan9177]

Is this something I can use on a Mac or Windows? Can't figure out how to even get to the workflow canvas. I have no experience and am trying to use this as an alternative to Zapier so it can send a message to Slack whenever there is an update to a specific row on a Google Sheet

[@svenjanssen7024]

Hey Michael, you need a server with NodeJS running n8n. I might make a video on te installation process in the future.

[@MohammedAbdulatef]

I am still struggling to install it, is there a way to learn basics from scratch?

[@svenjanssen7024]

There are a couple of good tutorials on n8n.io. What system do you use and what exactly are you struggling with?

[@MohammedAbdulatef]

@@svenjanssen7024 I am just a beginner, I have no prior experience, can you please guide me? How do I install it first, my OS is windows 10.

[@svenjanssen7024]

@@MohammedAbdulatef what are you trying to accomplish in the end with n8n?

[@MohammedAbdulatef]

@@svenjanssen7024 Great question, I want to use webhooks and try to link the apps, when there is a trigger, I am not really a fan of Zapier. The whole idea I want to test n8r and learn node JS.

[@svenjanssen7024]

@@MohammedAbdulatef Windows platform is not really supported, but I read it is possible somehow. If you are serious with wanting to learn any web development stuff, look for a cheap VS (Virtual server) to rent. I walked down the same road, starting off with windows, and it was a complete waste of time. I learned linux faster than I got even basic things like an email server running on windows. Trust me, linux is the way. Anyways. Start with (looking up the) installation of NodeJS (which installs npm too). Then do npm init --yes. (you will figure it out from nodeJS tutorial). When you got npm init done, do npm install n8n. This makes it easier for you to upgrade n8n afterwords. Look things up on the website mentioned above from here. But remember: Installing n8n on a local machine is already a pain in the ass and doing it on windows makes it twice as challenging. Get hands on a linux server and save yourself the time for n8n itself ;-)

i cannot see this editor, i can only write json code

[@falaTabacudo]

I can't understand about the trello trigger, how can I use it, if possible make a video about it, how can you use the trello trigger and what are the advantages and how to use them. TKS s2

[@werneroostendorp1154]

Hi Sven, ik kom niet door de installatie heen, Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/magic' weet jij wat dit zou kunnen zijn?

[@svenjanssen7024]

Try to install build essential (sudo apt install build-essential checkinstall) and run "npm config set scripts-prepend-node-path true" before the installation

[@jethrinfoxx]

@Werner Oostendorp , try the command at the bottom of the troubleshoot page in n8n documentation. You need to check if node can reach MSBuild.exe and point it using that command. Then reinstalling n8n do the trick for me. Hope you try this.

[@gurudattasahoo2302]

Some parts of the video are not readable.

[@svenjanssen7024]

Without telling me which ones, unfortunately I cannot help. Try using HD Quality, too!

Hello

[@lowlandtech]

Terrible video, I have no clue what I just looked at. People who ramble while clicking and scrolling make the worst videos. Storytelling is key, especially when you are dealing with hard to explain concepts. Udemy has a course on this: "Storytelling for Technical Presentation"

[@VaelekCorvo]

Your English is generally good, but It's pronounced var-EE-able not var-EYE-able. Made me cringe every time you said that.

[@svenjanssen7024]

Severity level: Critical :) Jokes aside, I will consider it in the next video.
