Hi All,

Till last week, I had no issue installing Node-RED v2.1.3 on CentOS 7.9

However, since today, I am getting the below issue:

```auto
Dependencies Resolved

 nodejs x86_64 2:14.18.1-1nodesource nodesource 32 M

Trying other mirror.

Error downloading packages:
  **2:nodejs-14.18.1-1nodesource.x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.**

```

Does it mean Node14 is not supported on Centos 7.9 anymore ?

I unfortunately cannot use CentOS 8 because of some specific requirements. Do you have any idea to make this work?

Can you try a manual install of node12 ?

Actually same issue when trying to install Nodejs12 manually...

Can something be wrong on their side?

Workaround is as follows :

```auto
yum remove -y nodejs npm nodesource-release
wget https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_14.x/el/7/x86_64/nodejs-14.18.1-1nodesource.x86_64.rpm
yum clean all
yum install -y nodejs-14.18.1-1nodesource.x86_64.rpm

```
