What did it show. What was in the log.

I'm pretty sure that tries to install a pretty old version of node-red.

Could you try the V2 (currently in development but so far it works well)...

Of course it should work fine... but the whole point is to find out where it doesn't - so make sure you don't do this on a critical system - and do have backups of your flows etc... The main changes (so far) are - if anything less than node12 installed - it will update to node14 (by default) - if 12 or above is installed default action is to leave…
