Updating Node.js & Node-Red Help

General

Hi,

I am currently using Node.js ver 18.20.8 and node-red ver 4.1.8 , when I run the update script it exits and tells me that node-red no longer support node.js 18.xx , it then tells me that I can force the installation of Node.js 22.xx by adding --node22 to the end of the update script, I have tried this and it returns No such file or directory, am I doing this right ?

P.S. it is on a Raspberry Pi

Thanks
Stuart

Did you add a space before --node22? If you did then where do you see the error message? If it is right after starting the command then copy/paste the text you see, including the command you entered. Copy/paste text please, not screenshot.

If the error is after the command has started then copy/paste the install log please. /var/log/nodered-install.log

What type of pi is it and what OS version are you running.
cat /etc/os-release will tell you that.

Hi Colin,

I have a Pi 5, and this is my OS:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian

It seems that all that was needed was a simple space before ---node22 all went well after this, I appreciate your Help

Thanks
Stuart

--node22 is a command line parameter. Parameters in commands always need to be separated by spaces.
