Hallo Rajesh,
this is indeed what I expected.
Your device is called "Edge Gateway Connect" as marketing name. It is based on the same hardware as the product netPI named NIOT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE but is loaded with different software. This software on "Connect Gateway" includes also a default installation of Node-RED (which you are using) which we secured by design. In turn this means this Node-RED environment does not include C compiler etc.. So if you now want to install special nodes that need compilation process during installation then this will fail ... as in your case.
Most common Node-RED nodes available on the web do not need such a compilation process and just install plain javascript code and HTML code. But not Influx DB.
So the only possibility for you is to disable the default secured Node-RED that comes preinstalled in Connect Gateway and deploy a containerized Node-RED that we provide under the link I sent in my post before. With this containerized version you have all possibilites. And best of it is that the containerized Node-RED includes InfluxDB node by default.
The other product "netPI" is 100% relying on Docker techniques and there is no default Node-RED preinstalled. With such a device the only chance you have is to use containers anyway.
Hope this helps.
