Update/Upgrade from pretty old Version installed by "The Scipt" from Peter Scargil

Hey Guys,

between 2-3 years ago I installed Node-RED and many other tools with Peter Scargils "The Script".
Now its a pretty old Version. I recently updated Zigbee2Mqtt to the current Version and now it doesn´t work anymore because Node-RED is too old.
Can somebody point me in the right direction how I can Upgrade my current installation OR can tell me what I have to back up all my flows to make a clean reinstall?

Current Version is:

1 Mar 20:22:48 - [info] Node-RED version: v1.0.3
1 Mar 20:22:48 - [info] Node.js  version: v10.18.0
1 Mar 20:22:48 - [info] Linux 4.19.75-v7+ arm LE
1 Mar 20:22:49 - [info] Loading palette nodes
1 Mar 20:22:50 - [warn] [node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt] Node module cannot be loaded on this version. Requires: >=1.3.0

1 Mar 20:22:59 - [info] Context store  : 'default' [module=memory]
1 Mar 20:22:59 - [info] User directory : /home/pi/.node-red

1 Mar 20:22:59 - [info] Flows file     : /home/pi/.node-red/flows.json

I don´t know if the Update Script works with the installed Version from "The Script".
Thanks in advance.

The install/update guide should work.
Is it a Raspberry Pi?

The official update script should work fine.
You may need to put --node14 at the very end of the command to force it to update node.js

Make a backup copy of your .node-red folder first though.

So I ran a

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered) --node14 --confirm-install --confirm-pi --update-nodes

And now everything is back up and running flawlessly.
To be honest: I wasn´t expecting that.

Thank you all for your tips :slight_smile:
