How to do it to have a different version?
You can probably use google as well as I can
You can also try an older version of node-red, On a test machine I have version 1.1.2 running on android 6x 2gb ram and 16gb storage and nodejs 13 . For some reason i had issues updating nodejs, probably take another crack when I have some spare time.
Try
npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@1.1.2

thanks we made it
And I probably can't have a higher version because after typing pkg install nodejs installs to me in version 13 and I do not know how to install lower versions f.e. 12
Try this : pkg install nodejs-lts

after typing this command I have version 12 node and after typing
npm i -g --unsafe-perm node-red
installed the latest version for me.
How to set to node-red to start automatically after starting termux?

RedMobile works very well on Xiaomi Note and Galaxy tab 3.
RedMobile is a pay for app, and the free version has no pallete.
If you use the node-red installation instructions using termux you will get a better and more upto date version.
Unless they changed, the autostart for termux was a paid feature, $5 if I remember correctly. You can mostly make it work by editing .profile or .bashrc to run your commands. I gave up with it a couple of years ago as the Android phone was much less reliable than the IOT devices I was trying to monitor and send alerts about.
where can i find these files ?
To start termux with the typed command after starting the phone?
Unfortunately that may be Android version and phone provider dependent. Google it.
From the termux wiki:
Bash is the default shell after installing termux.
The BASH shell init files are ~/.bashrc , $PREFIX/etc/bash.bashrc and more. See man bash and info bash for more information.
I can't find this file and here on the forum I found such a command tsudo systemctl start node-red or tsudo systemctl enable nodered but the effect is
/system/bin/sh: systemctl: not found
But it doesn't work either so how else can I boot from termux?
I downloaded Termux:Boot app and created a folder and it doesn't work
what am I doing wrong that after starting termux, node Red does not start?
or for node-red autostart you can also use pm2 on android, if so, how to configure it to be able to use the GUI version that is pm2 plus
$ pm2 startup

It has been quite some time since I used it, but I seem to recall starting node-red from the termux .bashrc or .profile file that runs a set of initial commands.

Always getting this error and I am trying to install node red since 2 weeks now but I am not able to understand how to resolve the issue
npm -v

Since 2 weeks I am trying to install and this is persistant. I am not a pro in linux env and that is why I am unable to resolve this on my own.
I just want an installation to try Node-red and then if everything works out then I'll get a RPi as a dedicated server.
Could you please tell me how to get around the error?
I suggest going back to nodejs v16 as 17 is very new and may have problems. Also possibly drop back npm to 7.
Also, running on Android can be a pain anyway. If you are just doing it to test node-red then do it on your PC or get the Pi. It will save you time in the long run.
