Node Red runs OK when I start it manually but I can’t get it to run on startup like the instructions say it should. Any suggestions?

Yes, removing the /local/ from the ExecStart command fixed the problem. Thanks so much for your help.
whereis node-red responded with: node-red: /usr/bin/node-red
When I try the command /usr/local/bin/node-red-pi --max-old-space-size=128 -v I get the following error:
-bash: /usr/local/bin/node-red-pi: No such file or directory
I can run it with just the command: node-red
But node red then stops as soon as I close out the terminal window. I am fairly new to Linux so forgive any ignorance of something simple.
