Does your username have sudo ability?  
Edit: - I see you do have sudo.

I have never seen the script exit silently, maybe @dceejay might know what's going on.

If I had this problem, here's what I would do as an experiment. Never tried this.

1 Download the script **curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered) \> nrinstall**  
2 Edit the script to remove the code which throws away output **sed -i 's|\>\>/dev/null||' nrinstall \> test**  
3 Run the edited script **bash ./test**

If you are lucky there will be an error message, or possibly lots and lots of output.
