[FAILED] DietPi-Software | ./node-install.sh

Running the ./node-install.sh returns this

ERROR: No Internet Connection

Just running this line, doesn't fetch anything

curl http://nodejs.org/dist/latest/

Which seems to be pivotal to the success of the other IF statements in the script, as the version number is derived from the download.

Changing the curl command so that it addresses a HTTPS site, allows the script to get a little further.

curl https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/

But it fails with this text

If I download the file manually to /tmp and cp it to node.tar.gz and disable the curl command in the script, it states that the installation finished.

HOWEVER

Node-RED hasn't been installed / updated.

Curiously, it doesn't matter how I edit /root/node-install.sh and add in silly echo commands for example, it looks like dietpi-software is calling a different (unedited) version

Hi,

Many thanks for your report. This is already known and should be similar to #3671

Usually a quick fix should have been provided by MOTD.

[MichaIng]

Quick fix:

sed -i 's/taaem/MichaIng/' /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software

I mark this as closed 😉.

[MDAR]

Thank you so much 😃

This has fixed it perfectly 😄

The only thing to note is that because I uninstalled then, reinstalled Node-RED, I've lost all the library and flows.

(I have backups, so it's not a major issue)
