Node.js is no longer current. I believe there is a parameter that will tell it to install v14 or v16 instead.

Run the script again with `--node14` or `--node16` added to the end

No. At the very end of the thing you originally entered (not inside brackets)

`bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered) --node16`

Run this to update installed packages first  
`sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade`  
Then run the script again. If still no joy then which version of raspbian are you running?

That is not a version of rasbian

What does running `cat /etc/os-release` in a terminal show?

I can't read that on my phone, please copy/paste text, not screen image.

Did you do the update as suggested?

ok, bullseye is fine.

So I would suggest you fix the certificate error.

try the following 3 steps...

### 1

```auto
sudo apt-get remove curl
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo reboot

```

### 2

```auto
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh

```

### 3

then try the install script once more.

`bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered) --node16`

It is difficult to understand how the situation has arisen with bullseye. @JoanHc is this a fresh install of raspbian bullseye or did you upgrade from a previous version somehow?

Thanks. It works on my Pi3. I can't solve this error for 2 weeks long. Now it's fine and ready to move on.
