## Leanpub Live-Book
We're excited to announce our [Online Leanpub Book](https://leanpub.com/p4nr-contribution-modbus/) that covers each v5.x
version in detail. This comprehensive guide is aimed to help you learn more about our nodes and the various options inside them.
What's unique about this book is its "buy once, update forever" approach. We continuously update the content to bring
the latest v5.x changes or new options with each v5.x release version.
Moreover, we're dedicated to responding to your queries. If you have a question, not only will we answer it,
but we can also incorporate the insightful answers into the book's future editions. This ensures that all readers
stay informed and engaged. Thanks to the [P4NR B2B Community](https://p4nr.com/)
Purchasing our book will greatly support us in our mission to incrementally improve Modbus for Node-RED and beyond
with every release in the upcoming decade. Your support will undoubtedly contribute to building a robust Modbus
for Node-RED ecosystem.
## Contribution Information
[Node-RED][1] contribution package for [Modbus][8] version overview:

## Install
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install
npm install node-red-contrib-modbus
Run the following command for global install
npm install -g node-red-contrib-modbus
try these options on npm install to build if you have problems to install
--unsafe-perm --build-from-source
### modbus-serial, serialport and jsmodbus
The [serialport][14] optional dependency is just to list all ports on your system in the client configuration.
It is not the [serialport][14] version to work with Modbus at runtime.
For that check the [modbus-serial][2] or [jsmodbus][13] package.json, please!
The [modbus-serial][2] supports and works for TCP connections in that package, too.
The [jsmodbus][13] package is just to provide a simple Modbus Server node.
All Modbus commands running on [modbus-serial][2].
### TCP or Serial testing
If you get in trouble *with TCP* connections, then check and test with just [modbus-serial][2] first, please!
If you get in trouble *with Serial* connections, then check with just [serialport][14] first, please!
## Update/Upgrade/Downgrade
To update the dependencies or the whole package, you have just to install again.
npm show node-red-contrib-modbus@* version
To get a special version, please set the version with @M.M.F:
npm install [email protected]
or global by
npm install -g [email protected]
## Modbus Flex Server
The Modbus-Flex-Server now got its own package.
The P4NR team started to work on fixing the vm2 issue, but first, we think as the community here it has to get out of
this package to close the issue on vm2 now.
The P4NR team will split this package more in the next time into client and server packages to get a better
development flow and to react faster on CVE or other issues.
This is a first step to v6 of the package.
## How to use
* see [Wiki][10] pages
* use the [Flow example][3] to see how it works ...
* see [YouTube Playlist][9]
## Errors
Since v5.22+ the package will catch network and other errors of the client and server node.
That means, you have to handle the error status of the node and Node-RED should not crash in the handled cases.
## Debug
Debug will be activated by starting Node-RED with debug mode:
DEBUG=contribModbus*,modbus-serial node-red -v
or
DEBUG=contribModbus:{option},contribModbus:{option},...
see [Wiki][10] pages to get more options in detail
