But using NVM i installed

But this does not help, the system still sees the old versions (and I didn’t even install them). What should be done in this case?

p.s. And which version of Ubuntu to install so that the repository contains the latest up-to-date versions of Node.js ?

[martin-doyle]

node-red-contrib-aedes requires Nodejs12. But as you see in the logs aedes requires Nodejs14 minimum.

[martin-doyle]

Be aware that Node 14 is out of maintenance since April this year. Best install Node 18.

Check if you have multiple versions installed.
