Hi,

.I am using Linux XFCE

I have updated Node-RED to latest version and updated Node.js to v8.13.0.

I then restarted, but it stopped flows, because of SQLite node not compatible with Node.js to v8.13.0 ?

I then changed Node.js back to 6.9.4 and did another sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red  
.

Now I get most nodes awaiting registering ?

 ![05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/1/1b3e3ab6549775b329749f1bd0c048211a58c632.jpeg)

.

Is it because of this? as I did not understand what it meant ?  
.

 ![40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/f/f172dcdb7bdd7a2be5de32f578a20370d8133faa.jpeg)

.  
.

Help required 😯

Thanks

Show us the whole of the startup log please. You can copy out of the terminal using Ctrl-Shift-C then paste it here. Put a line containing three backtick characters before it and another such line after, that stops the forum 'helpfully' re-formatting it.

Actually I suspect I know the problem. I suspect you had not been using --save when installing nodes, and later versions of npm uninstall any nodes that are not referenced in package.json. If you go to Manage Palette in node-red you can re-install the nodes and now they will automatically be added to package.json so you will not get the problem again. The ui\_ nodes are from node-red-dashboard so re-installing that will sort them.

As I suspected, so npm has uninstalled all the other nodes. Not very user friendly of it to do that without warning, it caught me out a little while ago too. I am afraid you will just have to re-install the extra nodes you were using.  
[Edit] Can you post the startup log too please, just to check there isn't anything else.

Sorry, I missed the fact that you have already posted it. It must have arrived while I was typing I think. That looks ok.  
What does `npm -v` show?

Would it be best to delete all of 'node\_modules' and then do a fresh install of Node\_RED

As at the moment the basics are missing

That's fine. You should be ok if you re-install the missing nodes.

What do you see if you install using the command line, so

```auto
cd ~/.node-red
npm install node-red-dashboard

```

Install the ones you know about and the others may get installed automatically as the dashboard ones did.

By the way, if you are using a recent Debian based system such as Xubuntu then you can update to the latest version using the Pi install/upgrade script from [https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi). That ensures that you get a consistent set of base nodes and tools. Also it will install a systemd startup script if you want it to run on boot.

Has this occured because you've updated npm, and the newer version has automatically removed those nodes that were originally installed via cmd and not included in the npm manifest.

Hi Paul,

Yesterday I did get it working with Node.js v6.9.4  
Today I updated Node.js to v8.13.0

And once again ALL flows stopped and I had to reinstall all missing nodes.

Not sure if this is how this is supposed to work ?

Then everything worked again

No, you shouldn't need to do that. Having re-installed them what do you see in package.json and is there a file package-lock.json?
