Downgrade node.js - Windows

Question

Is it even possible to manage node.js in windows? I can see examples for unix but not for Windows. I found nodist but it looks old. Hints?

Answer 1

Check out this project:

• https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows

It's Node version manager for Windows.

Another option:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/nvm-win

Hi you can downgrade using this command. npm install -g node@version

let's assume you want to downgrade v8.11.3, the command would be npm install -g node@8.11.3

Answer 3

you can just uninstall the node from control panel and install the required node version from the node official site

I dowloaded msi file and it works great.

使用 nvm 降级后，不要忘记重新启动您的电脑。

Answer 5

Docker would be a better solution than changing node versions. Docker allows you to containerize virtual environments with very little resources - perfect for laptop dev.

If you are using Windows 7 then you can still use Docker with VMWare Workstation.
