I want to install node v=14.8.0 and npm v=6.14.8 for my project. How can install it instead of the latest version?
I'd highly recommend you to install Node.js and npm on Ubuntu using nvm.
Node Version Manager
nvm (Node Version Manager) is a tool that allows you to download and install Node. js. Check if you have it installed via nvm --version . npm (Node Package Manager) is a tool that allows you to install javascript packages
Please visit and follow the steps from this link: How to Install Node.js and npm on Ubuntu to achieve your goal.

I am trying to upgrade my node to version 14.17.1 by running:
npm install -g node#14.17.1
It succeeds apparently, but when I run node -v, I still get the old version.
Is there an extra step I should take, or am I doing this wrong?
It is good to use a excellent and proven source. Visit official nodejs.org website and go to:
Other Downloads
Previous Releases - link
Choose and Install version whatever You want, on Operating System You
actually using. Good Luck ;-)
Or install and use nvm
To download, compile, and install the latest release of node, do this:
nvm install node # "node" is an alias for the latest version
To install a specific version of node:
nvm install 14.7.0 # or 16.3.0, 12.22.1, etc
I want to update my Node js to the current LTS version on my windows 7. Do I just let the current version be, and install the latest version from the website? Or do I need to delete the currently installed node? If so, how do I do that?
The best way to have multiple versions of Node is by using nvm.
Nvm for Windows (guide)
Nvm for Windows (GitHub repo)
Goto https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Download the version you want, for instance msi for windows. Run the download and it will update the version to the one you have downloaded.
If you install the latest stable version. Please use the below comments with the administrator command prompt
nvm install lts
Once complete the installation. You received the message
Downloading node.js version 16.15.1 (64-bit)...
Extracting...
Complete
Installation complete. If you want to use this version, type
nvm use 16.15.1
next step
nvm use 16.15.1
I believe that since npm installs Node.JS as a package (just like it would React or any other package) to your project, you can just 'npm install node' to get the latest version.
If you're looking for npm, the NPM website says this:
To update your npm, type this into your terminal:
npm install npm#latest -g
Follow https://phoenixnap.com/kb/update-node-js-version you can find several ways to update the node.
Install nvm by running:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash in bash
or
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
Then run the editor as administrator :
nvm install 14.18.1 (example the node version that you want or use lts for the latest)
nvm use 14.18.1
Make sure the node version to be used is the one installed after nvm install. If you already have one, delete it first.
node -v will give 14.18.1
I am trying to install the environment for react native.
I followed the instruction of the site until the point to enter into the cmd
create-react-native-app AwesomeProject
after several moments I get a big green message:
You are currently running Node v0.12.2.
React Native runs on Node 4.0 or newer. There are several ways to
upgrade Node.js depending on your preference.
nvm: nvm install node && nvm alias default node
Homebrew: brew unlink iojs; brew install node
Installer: download the Mac .pkg from https://nodejs.org/

I try to upgrade my nodejs but I have the newest version form the site.
why does it still throws me this error ?
Hi user24136 i build react native apps myself and i have latest Node version running. Error states your Node.js installed is old and React Native does run on Node 4.0+. Seems like your on a Mac, visit this link Node.js and use installer to upgrade your NPM and Node to latest versions. After successful installations run commands node -v and npm -v and you should see newer version v6.10.3 and 3.10.10 respectively. Then run command react-native init AwesomeProject and check if it works.
This problem interested in from your only node version
you can use sudo n stable command your terminal. This command increase your node version.
I manage my Node installations using nvm. I installed the grunt-cli module globally in my previous installation of node. This allowed me to run the command grunt on in the terminal.
When I installed a new version of Node (5.7.1), I got this error whenever I tried to execute the grunt command:
zsh: command not found: grunt
I discovered that the grunt-cli package had not been installed for the new version of Node.
I could install the grunt-cli package again but I would prefer to do this automatically whenever a new version of Node is installed using nvm.
Is there some way to install all the global modules from a previous version of Node when using nvm ?
This can be achieved using the --reinstall-packages-from option when executing nvm install. From the nvm documentation:
If you want to install a new version of Node.js and migrate npm packages from a previous version:
nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node
This will first use "nvm version node" to identify the current version you're migrating packages from. Then it resolves the new version to install from the remote server and installs it. Lastly, it runs "nvm reinstall-packages" to reinstall the npm packages from your prior version of Node to the new one.
If your prior version of Node is 4.3.0, the command will be executed thus:
nvm install v5.7.1 --reinstall-packages-from=4.3.0
I know npm is the package manager and nvm is the node version manager. I am currently trying to auto-install my development and production environment using Bash and forgot how I started out and in what order. After installing npm, I found our nvm was not installed.
Do I still need to install nvm? If so, what is the benefit?
nvm (Node Version Manager) is a tool that allows you to download and install Node.js. Check if you have it installed via nvm --version.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.26.1/install.sh | bash
npm (Node Package Manager) is a tool that allows you to install javascript packages. Check if you have it installed via npm --version.
npm comes with Node.js so if you have node installed (node --version) you most likely have npm installed as well.
You don't need nvm unless you want to keep multiple versions of Node.js installed on your system or if you'd like to upgrade your version.
nvm as you said is an "active" nodejs version manager. You can have multiple versions of node on the same machine and switch by doing "nvm use version". npm respects nvm if it is present on the machine, meaning if you have 0.12.7 active and do npm install -g uuid, it will install it globally under 0.12.7 but if you switch to 4.0.0, uuid will no longer be globally available.
In any case you do not necessarily need nvm to install packages.
I see an analogy with Python for all the Python users out there.
nvm manages different versions of node. And node contains npm (package manager).
pyenv manages different versions of python. And python contains pip (package manager).
