Hi, on my PI 3B I've installed the last raspian buster (release data 2020-02-13 image with desktop based on Debian Buster). I'm getting mad, trying several time even reinstalling the OS, but I cannot install node-red in any way. I've tryed with the script, manually installing npm and nodejs ... but…

[image] Lupin_III: "sudo apt remove nodejs npm nodered" Unfortunately, you've confused the npm package installations with the apt package installations. nodejs is installed via apt. npm and node-red are installed via npm (yes it is a little weird to have npm install itself and I'm glossing o…

What happens if you run sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red Please copy/paste the result rather than screenshot, if possible. Edit actually, before trying that, run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade And copy/paste here if that fails. If possible please supply a translation of the …

ok, as soon as possible I'll be back with the result of the action you suggest. Having looked again at the previous error message I see you have somehow got an old version of npm installed, possibly because you installed it manually Blockquote Further edit Having looked again at the previous err…

@ Colin with "sudo apt remove nodejs npm nodered" it says that npm and nodered are not installed, than won't be removed. It only removed nodejs (10.19.0-1nodesource1) with "sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red" it says sudo: npm: command not found pi@rw:~ $ sudo apt remove nodejs npm noder…

I trayed again, and the same error appear [image]

[image] Colin: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade Have you done that? Installing node-red with apt is not the recommended way. Once the update and full-upgrade works ok then try the script again.

[image] TotallyInformation: Unfortunately, you've confused the npm package installations with the apt package installations. Not necessarily true. On a standard Raspbian install npm is available in the repository for installation with apt, and the OP said he had tried to do that, which is wh…

After I did what Colin suggested, I tryed again with the official script and finally I did it [image] Honestly I donìt know what's happened!

I don't know why the install script did not run the first time, but having investigated, it is not possible to use apt to install node red from the Raspbian Buster repository. I get the same issue you did that the version of npm in the repo is 5.8.0 but node red needs > 5.8.0. So there is a packag…

Not quite sure why you would want to install Node-RED from the Rasbian repository? Surely it will always be better to install direct from npmjs?

Also, if installing now and using Buster, why go to nodejs 10? Why not to 12 which is also an LTS release and will be around longer?
