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:

```auto
1 Mar 20:22:48 - [info] Node-RED version: v1.0.3
1 Mar 20:22:48 - [info] Node.js version: v10.18.0

```

I don´t know if the [Update Script](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi) 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.

It is a Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster).  
Will I be fine with it?

So I ran a

```auto
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 🙂
