Hello guys,

i'm trying to upgrade to the latest node-red version but it doesn't works for me. I'v run "npm -g --unsafe-perm node-red". Looks good so far:

```auto
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

changed 290 packages, and audited 291 packages in 21s

28 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

3 moderate severity vulnerabilities

To address all issues, run:
  npm audit fix

Run `npm audit` for details.

```

Restart shows the following log:

Since you have a Linux system, try using the instructions for the type of Linux system that you have - don't use naked npm command

I'm using "naked" node-red via npm to have the possibility to use the actually version of node-red. The system would install node-red 1.2.9 !!  
By the way: the link you've posted shows the exact upgrade command which i've used.

@cymplecy was referring to these yellow sections at the top:
