Oh I see what you mean now, the user needs to have sudo rights. Yes, you are are exactly right.
Hello again all
I did a fresh VM with Debian 12 and used the install script.
exactly the same outcome.
I think its got something to do with SSE instructions that arent support by this AMD turion CPU which wont let me boot the VM with the CPU as X86_64-V2
Im going to give up.. in my opinion I dont believe you cant run node-red under proxmox on a AMD turion (HP N54L microserver)
Somebody please prove me wrong 
AMD Turion...isn't that like prehistoric ?
Can your system run lxc's ? It may be a better option (at the very least, it is way more efficient than a vm).
It will be possible - it's just code after all.. but.... depends how hard you want to bang your head
The actual error being reported re bcrypt is actually something Node-RED can live without as it is an optional dependency. to use the binary version - so you could remove it and try. eg sudo npm -g uninstall @node-rs/bcrypt then restart... But of course not sure what it will trip up on next...
But yes Turion is somewhat old - so you may need to play (a lot) with proessor flags and operating system versions.
