Hello there people! Im trying to run Node-red in a Raspberry 3B+. I had some problems updating the components but I finally got this versions installed: node v21.4.0 npm 10.2.4 Now, when I try to run it, I get this error: Starting as a systemd service. /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-red/nod…

Hi @Indubots - Welcome to the forums Please can you show the complete start up log of Node RED? I'm suspicions about the Node version, Optional Chaining was introduced in Node 14 (I think). and the error you have provided suggest a lesser version of Node JS as its struggling with optional chai…

My Raspberry Pies with Node-red do not have a /usr/local/lib/node_modules directory, which makes me think that you perhaps didn't use the script from nodered.org documentation to install? That currently gives me node.js version: v18.18.2 npm version: 9.8.1 node-red version: v3.1.0 node.js versi…

Success!!! Forcing a reinstall with the --node20 option enabled solved the issue. Current functional log is: Start Node-RED Once Node-RED has started, point a browser at http://192.168.1.116:1880 On Pi Node-RED works better with the Firefox or Chrome browser Use node-red-stop …

I dont have a detailed log on the past errors. The main problem was that it detected a version 12 and refused to install a new one.
nvm -v returns
0.39.6
which nvm returns nothing.

A good option might be to just reflash the raspy image, but I suspect that will get a nodejs v12 in it again.
