Uninstall node and npm on android? - node.js

Believe it or not, its not the same removing node and npm on android as it is on linux. Does anybody know how to uninstall node and npm? Or to reinstall it or even just update it. Im in the dark here...
I have termux by the way

In termux you can remove node via apt/pkg if you install node with termux package manger. Only two packages provide node in termux. nodejs, nodejs-lts remove both if you can't recall what you have installed last time
pkg remove nodejs nodejs-lts
If you have installed node lite then replace that name.
FYI you can list installed package in termux via pkg list-installed

Node wont update, despite downloading and installing latest versions

I am trying to create a new React app with create-react-app. However, when I ran npx create-react-app my-app I got an error:
npx: installed 67 in 8.408s You are running Node 12.22.0.
No worries, I went to the node.js site and downloaded and installed the latest version (18.1.0) and tried again, but got the same error.
Running node -v says I'm still using 12.22.-0.
So I tried npm install -g node --force. Install went fine, but again running node -v still says I'm using 12.22.0 and create-react-app wont work.
I am on Mac OS.
What can I do?
Node isn't installed via npm.
You need to either install Node via the official Mac OS installer, or via Brew (Recommended if you need more than one version)

How to install node package on MacBook for Socket.IO?

I have downloaded Node from Here for MacBook. Now when I double click on package, it is giving me error.
Anyone knows about this ?
Or can you give me other way to install node on MacBook ?
It used be fine. But then I haven’t tried to download directly from their site for a while.
Since I have a need to install multiple versions of node and switch between them, I used nodenv installed via Homebrew. Another popular tool people use is nvm.
You can follow simple instruction at https://brew.sh/ to install Homebrew and you can install node by brew install node. If you want to be able to switch between versions, you can install nodenv by following Homebrew install steps at https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv/blob/master/README.md. Then install node by nodenv install 12.16.1

How to completely uninstall Cordova

since I updated my mac to Sierra I noticed a strange behaviour in my cordova app: some plugins aren't working anymore, it just seems they are not copied in the ios platform even if when I add the Platform the plugins' folders are copied as usual. It just seems xcode ignore them.
I tried a few things: removing and adding again plugins, updating cordova, uninstalling and reinstalling cordova, updating platforms, trying creating a brand new app... nothing seems to fix the problem.
Searching around I found this command:
$ cordova platform update ios --save
and it worked without doing anything else.
Unfortunately I have to use this command everytime I make a change in the app and I remove and add the platform again so I guess it's a problem in my environment.
I would like to completely uninstall cordova, node.js and git and reinstall everything again. I found a few instructions like in this question for node.js How do I uninstall nodejs installed from pkg (Mac OS X)? but I don't know how to run correctly all of the commands, some of them fail.
Uninstalling cordova and reinstalling works but doesn't solve the problem.
I did it with
$ sudo npm install -g cordova
$ sudo npm uninstall -g cordova
Can someone link me where to find clear instructions step by step? I'm not that good with command line and I really want to fix this problem without formatting the whole system.
Thank you for any help!
Think I have the solution: I removed cordova,
sudo npm uninstall -g cordova
deleted the .cordova folder in my user home folder (it's a hidden folder!) and installed cordova again with
sudo npm install -g cordova
I noticed that one of my old cordova projects was working: remove platform, add platform and by default I had ios platform version 4.3.0. GOOD!
In another cordova project created after latest update it was still using ios platform 4.2.1.
In the root project folder there is the config.xml file and in this file I found this line in just the second project:
<engine name="ios" spec="~4.2.1" />
Just removed and now cordova is using by default the latest version of the ios platform.
I don't know exactly why in one project there was this line and why not in the other one... neither know if I updated the platform in one project before reinstalling cordova and after reinstalling in onther... can't remember.
I just know that now if I create a new project it's correctly using ios platform 4.3.0 and I tried to describe all my steps...
I hope it will be useful for anyone else because I was ready to format my mac to fix this :(
I don't think you really have a problem with node or npm.
It seems to me more the kind of problem that happen when you change your node version without rebuilding node_modules directory.
If you always install modules with --save modifier, try this:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
...if not, you can make a backup of your node_modules first. But it will be useful only to inspect it to figure out what modules are missing in your 'package.json' file.

Phonegap installation failure. Sticking to version 0.9.4 by default

Ive been trying to install phonegap for hours now. For some reason by default it installs version 0.9.4 (when I do npm install -g phonegap). If I specify to use latest version (npm install -g phonegap#5.0.0-0.28.1) I get tonns of errors for almost every dependency out there. Tried reinstalling node, removing modules, clearing npm cache, etc.
Windows 7
Node version 0.12.5 (x64)
Npm version 2.11.2
I had this problem before with my Mac
to fix this, i just simply ran
npm update -g phonegap
and behold it updated itself to 5.0.0

Node install error

Im trying to install node + npm using brew and keep getting the following:
$brew install node
Warning: node-0.10.33_1 already installed, it's just not linked
Any ideas whats going on and how to fix?
Try brew doctor that should give you some idea of what the problem is. Also, I strongly recommend not installing node directly using brew, but actually installing nvm through (brew install nvm)
nvm is the node version manager, which allows you to install different versions of node, and quickly swap between them.
I have the same problem.
but I try lots method (e.g. nvm, uninstall, brew doctor, blabla...), and decide use http://nodejs.org/ pkg instead.
it would install perfectly without homebrew.
but if you are so likely use homebrew, I have no idea about this.
I had this problem as well. It was due to part of a leftover installation from running and using the pkg installer from nodejs.org. Simply:
brew uninstall node
rm -rf /usr/local/include/node
brew install node
And you're good to go. You could probably get away with skipping the uninstall and just performing a brew link node, but I didn't try that.
