Yes, looks like a bug. Should be `16` as the `else` defaults to `18`

e.g...

```auto
            if [["$NODE_VERSION" == "12"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl12
                tgta=$tgta12
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "14"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl14
                tgta=$tgta14
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "18"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl18
                tgta=$tgta18
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "20"]]; then
                tgtl="None"
                tgta=$tgta20
            else
                tgtl=$tgtl18
                tgta=$tgta18
                NODE_VERSION="18"
            fi

```

Should be

```auto
            if [["$NODE_VERSION" == "12"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl12
                tgta=$tgta12
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "14"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl14
                tgta=$tgta14
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "16"]]; then
                tgtl=$tgtl16
                tgta=$tgta16
            elif [["$NODE_VERSION" == "20"]]; then
                tgtl="None"
                tgta=$tgta20
            else
                tgtl=$tgtl18
                tgta=$tgta18
                NODE_VERSION="18"
            fi

```

I suspected that, but am not so .... _arrogant_ to think I was right.

It just didn't look right and as it went: 12, 14, 18, 20.... It was kinda obvious that - somehow - 16 got left out.

But the lines after were also ~~`16`~~ `18` - which I can understand. (edited from 16 to 18)

I just wanted to check.

If it - the script - gets updated, I may try to install 16 on one of the older machines just to see if it does work.

Will you get it sorted Steve, or should I submit a bug (against what?)?

Just for keeping you _(all)_ in the loop.

Updated the two machines to node v16. Working.
