Windows 10 - Upgrade unable to via CMD

General
1

Hi,

Trying to upgrade Node -red on my Windows 10 PC.

I am using CDM and not powershell and as the directory is C:\Program Files\nodejs

Error from Powershell, I think it is due the the space in the directory structure "Program Files"
PS C:> cd /Program Files
Set-Location : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Files'.
At line:1 char:1
+ cd /Program Files
*+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

    • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:slight_smile: [Set-Location], ParameterBindingException*
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand*

If I run in CMD I get the following:

C:\Program Files\nodejs>npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
npm WARN deprecated mkdirp@0.5.4: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x. (Note that the API surface has changed to use Promises in 1.x.)

> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

+ node-red@1.0.4

C:\Program Files\nodejs>node --version && npm --version

Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you

use quotes for path with space in them

You install looks to have worked - have you tried running node-red and checking the version number on start up (or in the hamburger menu)

EDIT: also, for understanding sake, npm -g means install globally (i.e. no need to CD into program files)
