Example<\/h2>\n
Imagine that you had the following nodes in your flow:<\/p>\n
![\"exporting](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/exporting-Node-RED.jpg?resize=347%2C58&quality=100&strip=all&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
You would need to click the deploy button on the top-right corner to save your application.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then you would select with your mouse all the nodes that you wish to export and they would be highlighted\u00a0in orange (as shown below):<\/p>\n
![\"select](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/randomnerdtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/select-Node-RED-nodes.jpg?resize=365%2C62&quality=100&strip=all&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n

Now with the nodes highlighted, you open the top Menu<\/strong>, go to\u00a0Export<\/strong> and select Clipboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A new window opens. Copy the text that appears and save it.<\/p>\n This is how the text looks for the flow demonstrated in this example:<\/p>\n Now you could go to another Raspberry Pi or a\u00a0machine that has Node-RED installed and you could simply import your flow.<\/p>\n You only\u00a0have to go to the Import<\/strong> menu and paste your nodes in text format (as show below).<\/p>\n Important:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0If you have previously installed extra nodes (for example Node-RED Dashboard), you’ll also have to install those nodes in your new machine, otherwise the Import process will not work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This post\u00a0shows how to export your Node-RED Nodes.
