    @lvolkjr yeh, SO much fun…

    take off nodejs

    sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
    

    then
    node -v
    should return commands not found ,or some old version number maybe 12…

    then run my install script…
    see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

    it will install the correct version of nodejs and npm

      @sdetweil I ran node -v and got the following:
      bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory

      Then I ran your install script and got this:
      install log being saved to /home/lowell/install.log
      Updating packages …
      [ <=> ]
      Installing helper tools …
      installing correct version of node and npm, please wait
      sudo: n: command not found
      node failed to install, exiting

          @sdetweil My bad I said Buster earlier, It’s Bullseye. I went back a version because I needed VNC server to work.

                  @sdetweil I was looking for a solution prior to coming to this forum and following someone else’s answer to there own issue that I thought would work for me, but got me no where. they said to change to node 18 from here: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions

                  Download and import the Nodesource GPG key
                  

                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
                  sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
                  curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

                  Create deb repository
                  

                  NODE_MAJOR=20
                  echo “deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

                  Optional: NODE_MAJOR can be changed depending on the version you need.

                  NODE_MAJOR=16
                  NODE_MAJOR=18
                  NODE_MAJOR=20
                  NODE_MAJOR=21

                  Run Update and Install
                  

                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

                  Did this screw me up?

                    Did this screw me up?

                    maybe…

                    try this

                    sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y
                    

                    then do
                    node -v

                      @sdetweil I didn’t see any errors after running sudo apt-get remove nodejs -y
                      When I run node -v I get this:
                      bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory
