Error building Atom from source with Nodejs 7.7.4

Question

I'm trying to build the Atom editor from source on Fedora. I've already installed all dependencies but I couldn't install Node.js 6.x via nvm (as recommended on Atom's Installation Guide " https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/docs/build-instructions/linux.md "). So I installed Node.js via nvm and I got Node.js v7.7.4. Now when I run "script/build" on the atom directory I get this error message:

/home/andre/src/atom/script/lib/verify-machine-requirements.js:23
throw new Error(`Atom does not build properly on node v7+. node v${fullVersion} is installed.`)
^

Error: Atom does not build properly on node v7+. node v7.7.4 is installed.

I'd like to know how can I install Node.js 6.x and use it when building Atom instead of using Node.js v7.7.4

Answer 1

nvm install 6.x  
nvm use 6.x  

If still problem, nvm uninstall 7.7.4
