Hi @vico93 👋

I don't think you should worry about it. You may want to ask to the n8n team directly, since high severity vulnerabilities may affect the project overall. For personal use, you'll be fine.

Thanks a lot for the feedback

Hi, I'm having these errors at the end of the script:

Failed to enable unit: Unit file n8n.service does not exist.
Failed to start n8n.service: Unit n8n.service not found.

@Sclafus
on line 8 it would be: build-essential without the S
and on line 15 the command did not work, running sudo npm install -g npm@8.18.0
and thanks for the work.

Hello @caldeusrp 👋

Failed to enable unit: Unit file n8n.service does not exist.
Failed to start n8n.service: Unit n8n.service not found.

The echo command from line 17 to 29 may have failed, are you running it with sudo? Looks like a permission error to redirect the output to /usr/...

on line 8 it would be: build-essential without the S

You are right indeed, I will correct it, thanks.

on line 15 the command did not work, running sudo npm install -g npm@8.18.0

That's pretty odd, have you tried running it without sudo?
