[solved] Node-red v3.0.0, PI installer script - node-red does not start after installer is finished (setting.js 'No such file or directory')

looks like there is an install issue. When I try to start NR I get

pi@testpi:/ $ node-red-start

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
pi@testpi:/ $
