Hi, here https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/local#upgrading-node-red it is stated that there are two methods to update depending on the way Node-Red was installed: using a pi script using global npm packge. How can if find out how Node-Red was installed (because I do not remember)? Than…

How do you start node-red? What does the command which node-red show?

Thanks all for your help and quick response! which node-red shows /usr/bin/node-red ls -l /var/log/node* shows -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 14 2024 /var/log/nodered-install.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1668 Jan 13 2024 /var/log/nodered-install.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2073 Jun 21 2023 …
