Hi!
trying to update my raspberry pi from o.21 to latest version with the script.
when doing this i get the following error in my screen.
How can i solve this?
```auto
npm ERR! error in /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/package.json'
```

Just for confirmation, which script do you mean? Is it the one at [Running on Raspberry Pi : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)
Please post the install log here `/var/log/nodered-install.log`
Which OS version are you running?

You didn't need to convert to pdf, a text file would have been ok.
Did you check all your installed nodes were at the latest versions before running the script? If not then do that via the palette manager and re-run the script. If node-red won't run then post the startup log when you try to start it.
Edit: Before you do that update your system, I see from the log that there are 345 packages that are out of date. You can do that using
`sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`

I see it won't allow .log files to be attached. It will allow .txt files, so for the future, copying it and renaming it to a .txt file would work.

The forum settings have been adjusted so that .log files can now by attached to a post.
