What a node is ?
Nodes get created when a flow is deployed, they may send and receive some messages whilst the flow is running and they get deleted when the next flow is deployed.
They consist of a pair of files; a JavaScript file that defines what the node does, and an html file that defines the node’s properties, edit dialog and help text.
When packaged as an npm module, a package.json file is used to pull it all together.
Installation

Go to project root directory and run the following command.
sudo npm link
