I have node-red 2.1.3 and I tried to upgrade to latest version using

```auto
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

```

however, even after command finishes and restart (both node-red and my linux box) I still see node-red 2.1.3 in UI menu.  
When I do

```auto
npm list -g node-red

```

i see

```auto
/usr/local/lib
└── node-red@2.2.2

```

What am I doing wrong ?

Hi,

Try browser cache clear / Ctrl-refresh page?

Cheers,

Paul

That was my intial guess too. I tried new browser too to make sure that I am not using cached version. This is also confirmed from missing features which were added in 2.2.x (splicing wires).

Which version of node js are you running ? Are you running under a container? Or n ? Or other environment ?
