To go along with the v2 beta I have updated the Linux install script to have some more command line switches to hopefully give you more control of what you may want to install

as usual you can run it from remote

```auto
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

```

but you can add parameters eg `--help` to the end of the command to see more options  
So for example to force install nodejs 14 and try the new beta and then restart you could

```auto
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered) --node14 --nodered-version="next" --restart

```

As usual - comments and issues here please.
