无法升级到节点版本0.10.35之后

Question

I recently got an email from MongoDB to update my drivers to be compatible with the new MongoDB 3.0

I am trying to up my Node.js to version "1.4.29". Currently I am the running the node version "0.10.35".

How can I upgrade node.js driver via NPM to 1.4.29 to be compatible with MongoDB 3.0?

I have tried the following:

 npm install g -n

I also tried this:

It just won't install any version higher then 0.10.35, Its stuck at the version. In the image above you can see it starts of my install node version 4.0 but ends up with 0.10.35 which I already have.

Which I was told would get the latest version of node but that did not seem to work.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First you need to clean the cache and then start the up gradation process. Use the below commands in the NodeJS command window to upgrade to latest version.

npm cache clean
npm update -g

If you desire to install specific version of node then use the command sudo n 0.12.2

Answer 2

The way to install the new versions of node with n is to use this command n <version> . For example use n 5.1.0 for the latest version of nodejs.
