Node-red core will not install 3.0.0 core

General
#1

I am trying to upgrade node-red to version 3.0.0 from 2.2.2. But the core does no install.

Stop Node-RED                       ✔
  Remove old version of Node-RED      ✔
  Node option not specified           :   --node14, --node16, or --node18
  Leave existing Node.js              :   v14.10.0   Npm 6.14.8
  Clean npm cache                     -
  Install Node-RED core               ✘   3.0.0 
  Move global nodes to local          -
  Leave existing nodes                -
  Install extra Pi nodes              ✔
  Add shortcut commands               ✔
  Update systemd script               ✔

Try specifying the --node16 flag to update node from v14.10.0 to the current lts version. (But it should only require 14+)

What do the install logs say?

So you have Node v14.10.0 but you have nodes that require Node v14.13.0 or higher.
