Use specific Node version in combination with specific npm version

Question

For a client's web project I work with two other developers. The frontend is built with quite a setup (gulp, foundation, bower, ...) and started a few years ago. They both use a (never updated)

 I tried npm install npm@5.6.0<\/code> which then changes the used npm version, but also changes the used node version back.
 But is there a way to work with exactly this combination of versions<\/strong> the other developers use in my project?

Answer 1

After switching node<\/code> versions with nvm use<\/code> (and confirming you switched with node --version<\/code> ), you should globally<\/strong> update\/downgrade npm<\/code> with:

npm install -g npm@5.6.0 // -g arg is important

Answer 2

Find where your nvm is installed .eg:

Then you can explicitly call your desired npm version like:

your\path\..\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v12.10.0\npm -help
