@grant1 That is odd - as that would indicate a 64bit kernel - which would be why the previous nodejs install failed, if it is really running 32bit.  
Any chance you can also run ` getconf LONG_BIT ` and report back ? Thanks

@dceejay `getconf LONG_BIT` returns `32`

FWIW, I installed InfluxDB after Node-RED from [Downloads](https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/) using the "Ubuntu & Debian" dropdown. Some areas of their install pages state that it only runs on 64-bit machines, but I did it anyway and everything seems fine.

Is that influxdb v2, rather than 1.8? V2 is supposed to run only on 64 bit, so if that does run it seems that raspbian desktop is a bit indeterminate as to whether it is 64 or 32.

I installed InfluxDB v2.3 (the latest) and set it up with Node-RED to populate it the same way as my "regular" NR+Influx system (regular = in production for many months, running on 64-bit Debian). So far, it looks / behaves exactly the same. I can try to install Grafana 64-bit as well and see how that goes.
