Problem installing vedirect.usb nodered contrib

Hello. Pretty new to Node-red here so i don't know if it's my fault. 2 days ago i had vedirect node installed just adding it with palette manager and i was able to connect to the device. Now i can't even add the contrib to Node-red. It installs but then it says a module is missing.

I just released an update of the package (0.1.1), so can you try again with the new version? If that does not work, please file an issue at https://github.com/dirkjanfaber/node-red-contrib-victron-vedirect-usb/issues

this happen all the time, restart the Rpi, try again and again and again, and try to install, sometimes it is there after some time, sometimes not. Its a bug in Venus or the Node Red integration.
