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