I decided on my development system, that I had so much junk in the npm repo, generated while learning how to write custom nodes for NR, I would clean stuff up. So I removed NR (just case I could), removed npm, removed nodejs, just in case something was hanging around. I then installed NR, the approved way, and saw some thing that really made me laugh, really funny (at least to me)...

```auto
Running Node-RED install for user pi at /home/pi on raspbian

This can take 20-30 minutes on the slower Pi versions - please wait.

  Stop Node-RED ✔
  Remove old version of Node-RED ✔
  Remove old version of Node.js ✔ v0
  Update Node.js LTS ✔ Node v12.18.2 Npm 6.14.5
  Clean npm cache ✔
  Install Node-RED core ✔ 1.1.2
  Move global nodes to local -
  Install extra Pi nodes ✔
  Npm rebuild existing nodes -
  Add shortcut commands ✔
  Update systemd script ✔

Any errors will be logged to /var/log/nodered-install.log
All done.
  You can now start Node-RED with the command node-red-start
  or using the icon under Menu / Programming / Node-RED
  Then point your browser to localhost:1880 or http://{your_pi_ip-address}:1880

**The remove (node.js) version 0 reference just cracked me up!**

All I see is a small bug in the install script. 🧐

Don't fix it... it is worth the humor value to leave it, IMHO.
