Don’t know if I’m right here, but I got the following message, when using “openhabian-config” to upgrade all OS with “Option 02” at the end:

npm notice
npm notice New major version of npm available! 10.9.7 -> 11.12.1
npm notice Changelog: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v11.12.1
npm notice To update run: npm install -g npm@11.12.1
npm notice

I then run the above command, but got the the error-message:

Is there anyone to help me solving this problem, as I’m a “Dummy”, and don’t know what to do.

Thx in advance

I think you just let openHABian manage npm for you. You do not need to run any commands manually. It’s likely that openHABian is still on an older verison of NPM. The fact that there’s a newer version is not by itself a reason openHABian would upgrade.

When openHABian is ready to move to a newer npm, they will include that as part of the upgrade for you.
