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

Output:
Stop Node-RED :heavy_check_mark:

  • node-red@2.2.2

    Now add the shortcut and start/stop/log scripts to the menu
    Now add systemd script and configure it for pi:pi @ /home/pi
    Customized systemd script found @ /lib/systemd/system/nodered.service. To prevent loss of modifications, we'll not recreate the systemd script.
    If you want the installer to recreate the systemd script, please delete or rename the current script & re-run the installer.
    ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/python': File exists
    Now add launcher to top bar, add cpu temp example, make sure ping works
    The user pi' is already a member of gpio'.

Then:

node-red-start

Node-RED is not yet fully installed. Please re-run the install script again manually.
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
then retry node-red-start

Reason, two files (scripts) are missing: node-red-pi & node-red ..

How to fix it ? Thanks. Titus.
