Problem installing on N8N version 2.4.6

[Midas-sudo]

Trying to install the n8n-llamacloud modules on version 2.4.6 of N8N but I'm getting some broken imports from the module:

Error loading package "@llamaindex/n8n-nodes-llamacloud" :The specified package could not be loaded Cause: Cannot find module '/home/node/.n8n/nodes/node_modules/lodash/get' imported from /home/node/.n8n/nodes/node_modules/n8n-workflow/dist/esm/node-helpers.js Did you mean to import "lodash/get.js"?

I believe I'm doing the right process, the N8N container is a clean install just have a few other modules installed.

Thank you for you attention.

Would you mind sharing your Dockerfile/Docker setup?
I can try to reproduce and work towards a fix

[Midas-sudo]

Just have a plain old compose:

version: "3.7"

services:
  n8n:
    image: docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '5678:5678'
    environment:
      - N8N_HOST=${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}
      - N8N_PORT=5678
      - N8N_PROTOCOL=https
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - WEBHOOK_URL=https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN_NAME}/
      - GENERIC_TIMEZONE=${GENERIC_TIMEZONE}
    volumes:
      - n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n

volumes:
  n8n_data:
    external: true

[AstraBert]

Thanks for sharing! I'll try to reproduce and fix where necessary :)

Thinking of ditching docker and test it out on a bare metal installation of n8n.
I will report back if I come across the same error.

Thank you for the fast help/reply

[Midas-sudo]

On a fresh instalation on bare metal:
With node: 24.13
n8n: 2.4.6
it is giving me a similar but different error:

[AstraBert]

Mmh I suspect that there is some version incompatibility with newer n8n versions... I'll check that and get back to you!

[Midas-sudo]

@AstraBert If you need any help, or for me to do some debugging let me know.

[AstraBert]

Tried to address the issue in #14, but in general I can tell you that the magic trick to make this work is to clone this GitHub repo and install and build from source

[AstraBert]

For some reasons, fresh installs don't seem to work with the published package... Will investigate that further, but for now the above trick should unblock you

[Midas-sudo]

Thank you. Going to give building from source a go 😊

[Midas-sudo]

Got the blocks to show up on n8n. I'm getting the warning bellow but I guess it could be due to the fact I'm using it from source right?

[AstraBert]

It should be fine, we made some changes with the versioning of our @llamaindex/cloud package and I simply need to update it to the latest version, but what you have there should be working!
