```auto
cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red/
sudo systemctl stop node-red
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@next
sudo systemctl start node-red
```

Its not very clear what command you run to install it.
From what you have shared .. Stopping and starting the service will not update it.
In the top post of the [Node-RED 3.0.0-beta.3 released](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-3-0-0-beta-3-released/64027#installing-the-beta-4) thread it mentions how to install it.
```auto
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@next
```
Is this command what you tried ?

1. Are you running in Docker ?
2. If you stop the service `sudo systemctl stop node-red` and
just run it from terminal with `node-red` what do you get ?

OMG, thats it, I guess i have node red installed twice now,
20 Jun 13:49:18 - [info] Node-RED version: v3.0.0-beta.3
beta 3 is up and running, no flows fresh install.
so i guess this is not the way to update on Dietpi
this did a install in User directory : /home/dietpi/.node-red
and not in /mnt/dietpi\_userdata/node-red/

I might be wrong, and I don't immediately see a definitive answer in the documentation, but (not actually on a DietPi) to install a node-red version it's apparently
```auto
cd ~
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@next
```
whereas to install a specific version of a node it would be
```auto
cd ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-dashboard@2.24.1-beta
```
No idea why one needs cd ~/.node-red while the other needs sudo, nor about DietPi mount points.

not using the -g tag, this will work
```auto
systemctl stop node-red
cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red
sudo -u nodered npm i --no-audit node-red@next
systemctl start node-red
```
