[dsporer]

Hello,

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

Error Messages are:

What os/version have you flashed on the SD card?

[dsporer]

cat /etc/os-release reports Version "9 (stretch)"
Raspbian.

All OS updates have been installed.

Can you share more of the log? The "errors" you e shared are not errors, just warnings.

But node-red-start reports
"Node-Red-Start is not yet fully installed. Please re-run the install script again"
then same result.

node-red-start reports "npm-version too old"
install npm reports "You have latest version 1.5.21+ds-2"
what is that mess?

OK, I found solution here:
Both npm and node are not up to date.
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

Don't ask me about meaning of this,
but now Palette Manager working in Node-Red
linux has still not become easier

The best solution would be to remove the versions of nodejs and npm (I guess they had somehow got installed from the Raspbian repository before you ran the script) and run the script again. So run
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm
then run the script again.
However I would also say that running stretch is not a good idea unless you need that version for some reason. It is no longer supported. You should use Buster.
