I run

npm run check-master With this response > node-red-master@2.0.3 check-master C:\Nodered > npm outdated

Package Current Wanted Latest Location node-red 2.0.6 2.1.3 2.1.3 node-red-master

Then run

npm run update-master

> node-red-master@2.0.3 update-master C:\Nodered > npm install --production --unsafe-perm

npm WARN node-red-master@2.0.3 No repository field.

But doesn't look like it actually does anything?

Corrected for v4 which is about to be published. The new version will ALWAYS install the latest version.

If you wanted the previous version of the script to work, assuming that you have run it at least once before, it will have changed the version spec from "*" to something like "~2.0.1". So to get a newer major version you would need to change that spec. You also need to understand the difference between the folder where node-red is installed and the data sub-folder. Each has a package.json file so compare them to see how they work.

The npm scripts defined in the 2 package.json files are for convenience, they do not cover all possible requirements.
