Hi @Andres

it usually means you have installed a module such as `node-red-contrib-ui` that clashes with `node-red-dashboard`.

Have you installed any other dashboard-related modules recently? Check the node-red log on startup for any errors related to conflicting modules.

The fix will be to uninstall that module causing the conflict.

In which case, you might not have `node-red-dashboard` installed at all. That would be something to check.

Latest dashboard requires node.js v8 or more recent LTS.... As both 6 and 8 are no longer receiving security fixes I would recommend 10 or 12.
