Hi,
I have a raspberry Pi 3 with the raspbian image from last year installed.
When I want to upgarde the node-red software with this command:
```auto
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
```
The script hangs.
Then I found this help note in the forum:
Stop node red then uninstall node 8.x
`sudo apt-get remove nodejs`
then remove the node 8.x repository spec
`sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list`
Then re-run the script.
But the script hang at the point "install NODE.js LTS"
The last Entry in the Logfile was:
Trigger für man-db (2.7.6.1-2) werden verarbeitet
What could I do now?
Holger

try installing nodejs yourself and then try again

Now the script finish the install process.
Node-red work fine but I found some warning and error messages in the upgrade logfile:

Is this a problem?
I'm a beginner in linux

You appear to have [quote="webtour, post:4, topic:10916"]
node -v v12.2.0
[/quote]
installed which might be a problem with some nodes especially those which use the serial port.

The script should not install node 12, earlier in the install log you should see it installing node, it should probably be 10.x. Can you see that bit of the log?

Well having been advised to install nodejs manually they have done just that... so can't blame them for that.

The first paragraph of the installation page does say which nodejs version is recommended...

True, I missed that, I thought the script had just finished when @webtour waited a bit longer.
