I try to update from [3.0.0-beta.4] but got the following msg on my pi:

Node-RED is not yet fully installed. Please re-run the install script again manually.

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

then retry  node-red-start

Welcome to the forum.

This problem has been seen by others. See Node-red v3.0.0 Pi - trying to compare setting.js gets 'No such file or directory'

If you run this command it will probably get you going again.
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

Indeed this is the same problem. Will follow that post for updates.
