This in on my main PiZero that does most of my cheerlights processing ☹

ran the standard script - all seemed to go OK but when I ran

```auto
node-red 

```

I got

Tried runing script again again - same result ☹

tried

```auto
node-red-start

```

Just got into the node-RED is not installed properly loop ☹

It is an old Jessie install but it has managed to be upgraded to 0.20.5 in the past so unless 0.20.7 has something new been introduced that doesn't work with Jessie?

This is using the bash script from the docs ? or the local command ?  
It should have reported the installed version of Node-RED like `Install Node-RED core ✔ 0.20.7` so something def not right..

Bash script from docs

This is second time I've had a problem recently (different PiZero)

> [@Nuke it from orbit](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/nuke-it-from-orbit/13963):

> I'm having problems installing/upgrading Node-RED on an older PiZero (Stretch so not ancient) (Its in the endless loop of saying that its not fully installed and do I want to re-install) I've tried loads of things and I'm now at the stage where I'd like to delete all Node-RED files, remove npm and remove node.js and start again sudo rm what?

I've copied my flow/credentials from it to another SD card that already was at 0.20.7 and put that one in orig Pi instead so I'm up and running again

So I can do anything on the old setup without fear of damage if you want me to try anything
