Hi,  
I am trying to update Zwave.js to the latest version and it is failing

535 verbose argv "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "--no-audit" "--no-update-notifier" "--no-fund" "--save" "--save-prefix=~" "--production" "--engine-strict" "node-red-contrib-zwave-js@9.0.3"

from the log above it seems i need node.js \> 18.0 and i have 17.9.0

when i attempt to upgrade node.js it says i have the latest node  
i am running node red on unbuntu on a pi400  
any help would be appreciated  
Thank you

Hi,

Update [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) to v18

With what command?

You can use the [script](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi) to update to v18 with `--node18`
