AltocumulusBIG-IP device fails to install node-inspector
https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K34264636 might help out, mentions node-inspector is deprecated and gives another option.
Hey ecolauce , try checking out this guide, you can set /usr to read-write mode. K20330103: Mounting the /usr file system in read-write mode https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K20330103
But keep in mind, the following:
Important Considerations:
- Security: F5 mounts /usr as read-only by default to enhance system security. Reverting it to read-only after modifications is crucial.
- Impact: While this procedure generally does not impact traffic, it is best performed during a maintenance window to avoid potential issues.
- Upgrades: Changes made to files in /usr might not persist across software upgrades. If an upgrade is performed, you may need to repeat the process.
ecolauceThank you very much. Based on the reference you provided, I resolved the restrictions caused by read and write permissions, but there are new issues in the subsequent installation steps.

Thank you, I get it. I will debug Node.js using other methods.
