Hello again Marcus Thank you for your prompt response and for your work on the zwave palette Are there limitations on installing version 11 Below is my current setup OS - Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS Node-red version - 4.1.8 Node.js version 18.19.1 Thanks in advance Andrew

Hi @fogmajor , There aren’t any strict limitations with installing v11 — but there are definitely some changes (all for the better :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:). If you take a look at the linked topic, it should give you a solid overview of what’s changed and how to adapt. The biggest updates …

And enjoy your visit :grinning_face:

Hi Andrew. Node RED is already updated, it's Node JS you need to update (and follow up on rebuilds) I think @TotallyInformation / @dceejay (+ many other of the admin team) has ways - Im a little rusty on how to update NodeJS alone. Once you update NodeJS (not Node RED) - you should be set to upda…

Since you are running on Ubuntu - the sensible way to install (and update) Node-RED and Node-JS is via the official installer script . e.g. bash <(curl -sL https://github.com/node-red/linux-installers/releases/latest/download/update-nodejs-and-nodered-deb) --node22

Marcus i thought sudo apt-get install nodejs was the way Will research Andrew

Thank you so much Regards Andrew

HI @fogmajor

This requirement was set in V10, so you will need to update your Node JS Version to the latest supported by Node RED (and to follow up on any needed rebuilds for Native Nodes)

But I do suggest to STOP! and read some more before continuing, as V11 contains significant breaking changes.

See here for further guidance.
