I'm trying to install Node Red in a desktop with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS operating system. Already successfully installed Node.js (v4.2.6) and npm (v3.5.2). But when I try to install Node Red using the command sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red, the things start to not working. Can someone help …

Hi, [image] jhmluna: Node.js (v4.2.6) You need a more recent version of Node. We recommend Node 8.x.

Thank you both. I have performed the following procedures to be able to update Node.js to version 8.x: sudo apt install curl curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs After that, the Node.js and npm was updated, respectively, to v8.15.0 and 6.4.1…

Too late now, but just for reference, the Pi script would have upgraded node.js for you (using the same technique you did).

In fact the easiest way is to use the Pi install script in the installation docs. It works fine on Ubuntu.
