    @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

                      @lvolkjr ok, do

                      ls /usr/bin/node

                      should return file not found
                      do
                      hash -r
                      node -v

                      just to make sure…
                      then run my install or upgrade script as appropriate…
