   i.) cd .node-red/

   ii.) npm install ~/Desktop/dht-emu

   iii.) npm install ~/Desktop/button-emu

The DHT sensor emulator is modified from http:https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz by replacing the data sampling loop with random numbers. For more details, please refer to http:https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/index.html.
