A node process is currently running. Can't upgrade.

I am trying to install MM, however, when I run the script, I am getting the following, even though as you can see the only node process seems to be the one that creates the install.log file:

I updated Node to v.16 manually and then ran the script - that seemed to do the job
I am reopening so I can track a fix
Same happens with the update script :(
can u show me the installers/upgrade.log
u must stop magicmirror before doing the upgrade.
@sdetweil I can't since I downloaded the update script locally and changed line 119
from:
node_running=$(ps -ef | grep "node " | grep -v color)
to
node_running=$(ps -ef | grep "node " | grep -v color | grep -v grep)
and it worked and I closed the session so can't see the log, but MagicMirror was stopped, I think it just captures grep used to find node processes as an actual node process, I see that this has been fixed in the install script, but in the update script that was not added.
weird the -v color is supposed to remove the grep command
fixed again. check for grep instead of color
