I ran this cmd:
bash \<(curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered))
Output:
Stop Node-RED ✔
Remove old version of Node-RED ✔
Node option not specified : --node12, --node14, or --node16
Leave existing Node.js : v14.19.2 Npm 6.14.17
Clean npm cache -
Install Node-RED core ✔
Move global nodes to local -
Leave existing nodes -
Install extra Pi nodes ✔
Add shortcut commands ✔
Update systemd script - Skipped - existing script is customized.
log output:

- node-red@2.2.2
updated 1 package in 48.889s
Now create basic package.json for the user and move any global nodes
Installing extra nodes: node-red-node-pi-gpio@latest node-red-node-random@latest node-red-node-ping@latest node-red-contrib-play-audio@latest node-red-node-smooth@latest node-red-node-serialport@latest :

- node-red-node-serialport@1.0.1
- node-red-node-smooth@0.1.2
added 27 packages from 94 contributors in 13.176s
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](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.
