installed : v6.11.5

the install version and installed version different. run node -v still got v6.11, cant update nodejs, whats the problem?

Answer 1

Version 6 probably appears in your $PATH before v9. The node binary that it first finds will be the one used.

Also, there might be a node sym-link that points to the wrong version. Use which node to see where the bin is.

Answer 2

我建议使用nvm来管理Node版本https://github.com/creationix/nvm这使它更简单
