@fogdragon welcome to the forum.

You have previously had a later version of Joplin than 3.3.13 installed on your system and the older version cannot use the new local data format created by the later version.

Download a copy of the latest pre-release from GitHub (3.4.7 at the time of writing) and install that. It will work with "Profile version: 48".
