Hi. I am wondering if my n8n gets updated properly. On Github, as of today, I see version 1.70.3 in releases, but on my raspberry pi I see 1.67.1.
I have executed the update command multiple times without errors, but I keep seeing 1.67.1 instead of the latest.
Do RPI versions come out slower than the ones released on github?
Thanks for answering. Have a yummy day!
It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.
Hey @fpcteam
How exactly are you running the update on your RPI?
Are you using a docker image?
We have our versions up to date there
https://hub.docker.com/r/n8nio/n8n/tags
I installed via npm. Here are the commands I run:
pm2 stop n8n
sudo npm update -g n8n
here’s what I have
here’s the log:
sudo npm update -g n8n --loglevel verbose -dd

Hey @fpcteam,
Try running npm install -g n8n@latest and see if that works instead.
Hi Ria… any clue on how to get my n8n updated?
trying now… but I am still curious as to why ‘update’ doesn’t work. 
It seems I have 2 n8n instances installed. one in /usr/bin/n8n and the other on /usr/local/bin/n8n.
the one in /usr/bin is 1.70.4 while the one in /usr/local/bin is 1.67.1
i check in the ui and it’s showing 1.67.1 which means my local version is running.
I tried npm update n8n (without -g), but it still shows as 1.67.1.
How do I get rid of the local n8n instance?
I tried this:
pi@rwpi:~ $ sudo npm uninstall n8n --verbose
npm verbose cli /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/npm

npm verbose title npm uninstall n8n

pi@rwpi:~ $ which n8n

uninstalled all n8n instances. reinstalled one again with -g. it works fine now. closing this thread.
