I run : npm run dev
Error : npm is known not to run on Node.js v10.24.1
I have researched and know the command: npm install -g npm#latest and some other commands to fix the problem
But the problem is that my project is using nodejs 10 so it can't use the latest nodejs. So is there any way to fix the above error. Thank you
UPDATE :
I use nvm to install and manage versions of nodejs. And my OS is macOs
The problem for me was upgrading my global version of npm while on an incompatible version of Node (8.16.1).
I tried to uninstall npm globally but that also didn't work because I could not use the npm command.
To fix it, I used nvm to switch to a compatible version of Node (nvm use 14.0.0 - this can be any version of Node compatible with the npm version you have installed globally). This allowed me to run npm commands so I ran npm uninstall -g npm first of all to remove my global version of npm and then nvm uninstall 8.16.1 to remove my faulty Node version.
I was then able to reinstall Node 8.16.1 (nvm install 8.16.1), and with it came a fresh install of a compatible npm version.
I happen to work on a project that builds on node 10 as well.
More details would have been helpful to understand the problem better but I suspect it's a compatibility issue.
Try these:
Download and install the latest version of nodejs.
Open you terminal and verify you have the latest version using node -v. Verify your npm version too using npm -v.
Since you have nvm installed, run nvm install 10, then nvm use 10.
Verify your versions again. In my case, node is v10.24.1 & npm is 6.14.12.
Start your app using npm run dev. Please check you package.json to be sure you are using the right startup command.
I was having the same problem, I ran the command and it solved the problem with NPM
sudo n latest
Node: v10.19.0
NPM: 8.9.0
Reference
I performed an upgrade of npm by mistake and run into the same issue.
The only way to solve for me was to delete the two following directories:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
npm is known not to run on Node.js v10.24.1 comes when normally people upgrade the version of npm to latest or recent ones, but when it comes to node 10 version you can use npm version 6.4.1 or 6 series. Normally npm 6.4.1 will come with node js 10.24.1 but if you have given any npm update cmd you need to go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming and delete npm and npm cache folders then delete npm folders in C:\Users\username\AppData\local then check the npm version using npm -v. After doing this install the angular version
Thanks #Oduola Olumide Sunday for the response. I have followed your way but still not solved the problem.
And I fix it by removing the latest nodejs version and using the normal node v10.24.1

I removed the latest nodejs version with this
This error happens when your npm version is not what you think it is...
For instance, you download a nodejs pkg and install. Run node -v, npm -v... npm -v provides the error that brought you here.
This means your aren't using the version the nodejs pkg installed, but some remnant somewhere- from other install attempts.
In my case, I had a Homebrew installed version of npm that I didn't realize existed.
You can find the locations, at least on mac, using the 'where' command.
where npm
Which will return path(s) of your npm locations. Find the one that doesn't belong and give it the boot.
Then your npm -v will return the expected version number output.
Now you can execute npm commands.
I had the same problem.
I was using node 12 with nvm
Then, I switched to node 16, uninstalled the version 12 with nvm uninstall 12 and then I installed it again with nvm install 12 and it is working fine
For nvm used under macOS, I solve this issue in this way
First, run nvm ls-remote to get the latest version of v10
-> v10.24.1 (Latest LTS: Dubnium)
Then install the latest version of v10 through
nvm install 10.24.1 --latest-npm
In case anyone here needs to install an npm version (7.24.2) that does support node 10, rather than upgrade node.
Here is what I did:
url=`(curl -qSsL https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/7.24.2; echo "") | sed -e 's/^.*tarball":"//' | sed -e 's/".*$//'`
curl -qSsL -o npm.tgz "$url"
bin/npm-cli.js install -gf ../npm.tgz # in case npm is not installed where "which npm" points to, you might need to add --prefix=$(which npm | sed 's/\/bin\/npm//')
The reference is the installation script of 7.24.2 https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/v7.24.2/scripts/install.sh
In my case I had put ^ in one of the package version in my package.json. Which takes latest version of that library and it was not compatible to older npm version which caused me this error.
Remove all ^ from package versions and try again.
your nodejs version should come with its own npm that it supports.so if your machine has issues finding the npm version go to cdrive C:\Users\Machine name\AppData\Roaming
delete npm and npm cache folders.
Try below command
brew install node
then
npm install
None of the tips I found here helped.
I had to reinstall nvm.
everyone.
I am upgrading Node.js and npm in my Ubuntu 18.04.6 server, but I'm running into a strange problem.
I was using the process as indicated in the installation guides:
To install Node.js version 17.2.0, I use
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_17.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Then, to install npm version, I use
npm install -g npm
However, after this, when I try to use npm to install modules, I get the warning
npm does not support Node.js v14.4.0
You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
Checking the versions of node, I find that
node --version
yields v14.4.0, but
nodejs --version
yields v17.2.0.
How do I fix it so node will point to the latest version and/or so npm will use the correct version of node?
I had also tried a lot for upgrading node version from 14 to 18. But even after installing latest version and following various procedures my version of node was showing 14.4.0 only.
Luckily following three node version manager commands solved my problem on my ubuntu machine v20.04.4:
1. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
2. command -v nvm
3. nvm install node
Now check node has been updated to latest version and can be verified with node --version.
If you still find an old version even on installing new latest/lts version, then check which node version is set as default with following command:
nvm ls
you will see green colored version text set with an arrow in front of it. It will also show other versions which have installed recently like v16.15.0, v18.2.0, etc.
Change the node version you want to set by following command:
nvm alias default v18.2.0
After this close the terminal and restart the new terminal and try checking node JS version. Here you got you want..!!
I had node installed in my machine and everything was working fine. During an online course made in 2019, the instructor was using an earlier version of npm (v5.5.1) and advised everyone to use the same version with him for follow up reasons. So I downgraded to v5.5.1 but now I keep getting one same error (incompatibility) for almost all commands. I read some solutions to similar problems here and even tried extra steps but the problem still persists.
I uninstalled node from my system, restarted the system and reinstalled node but the version of npm still remained v5.5.1.
I tried to uninstall npm from the command line npm uninstall -g npm but it threw incompatibility error.
I searched the web for compatible version of node.js for npm v5.5.1 and got node v10.15.1 which I downloaded installed with several system restarts but my node and npm still remain incompatible. Please what can I do?
You should use nvm which is the Node Version Manager, cURL:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
commands:
nvm install <version> Download and install a <version>
nvm use <version> Modify PATH to use <version>
nvm ls List versions (installed versions are blue)

How to change node version with nvm
I've been using node 9.3.0 for a long time, but I recently migrated to 10.12.0. Everything went fine, when I do node -v and npm -v I get the correct versions:
Paul-Bergs-Macbook:node paulrberg$ node -v
v10.12.0
Paul-Bergs-Macbook:node paulrberg$ which node
/Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v10.12.0/bin/node
Paul-Bergs-Macbook:node paulrberg$ npm -v
6.4.1
Paul-Bergs-Macbook:node paulrberg$ which npm
/Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v10.12.0/bin/npm
Howeven, when I'm trying to run any npm command, the old version is used. That is:
Paul-Bergs-Macbook:node paulrberg$ npm i truffle -g
/Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v9.3.0/bin/truffle -> /Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v9.3.0/lib/node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js
+ truffle#4.1.14
added 81 packages from 311 contributors in 1.715s
And:
npm list -g --depth=0
/Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v9.3.0/lib
└── truffle#4.1.14
Not sure if this is some bash code still pointing to the last version, but I can't seem to find any proof for that. Running env and checking for 9.3.0 environment variables yields no result.
What I did so far:
Delete node 9.3.0 with nvm uninstall 9.3.0
Do a fresh install of nvm after deleting it and rebooting the computer
nvm reinstall-with-packages
Deleted ~/.nvmrc and set 10.12.0 in there afterwards
Check if I have an overlapping node from homebrew and I don't
What could the problem be?
After a few hours of painful Unix debugging, I realised the problem was that I set a prefix in npm config:
prefix = "/Users/paulrberg/.nvm/versions/node/v9.3.0"
To fix this, make sure to unset the prefix by doing:
npm config rm prefix
This is mentioned, albeit not necessarily shining in the nvm doc
If you have an ~/.npmrc file, make sure it does not contain any prefix
settings (which is not compatible with nvm)
It looks like you might need to run nvm reinstall-packages
https://github.com/creationix/nvm#migrating-global-packages-while-installing
which says
Migrating global packages while installing
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.
You can also install and migrate npm packages from specific versions of Node like this:
nvm install 6 --reinstall-packages-from=5
nvm install v4.2 --reinstall-packages-from=iojs
The other "solution" is not to use global packages. Particularly when using nvm and not being able to be sure that the global package is for the "current" version it can be better to install locally and use npx to run the local command
truffle installs a truffle command to ./node_modules/.bin when you npm install it so you can npx truffle to run the local one instead of truffle to run the global one
edit:
another thing to check is that node -v and nvm current don't necessarily report the same version.
I wonder if nvm current would report v9.3 for you?
ah, yep, on my machine I can install truffle globally in a different location than node -v reports
> node -v
v9.5.0
> nvm current
system
> nvm use v8
Now using node v8.4.0 (npm v5.3.0)
> node -v
v8.4.0
> nvm current
v8.4.0
> npm install -g truffle
/Users/pauldambra/.nvm/versions/node/v8.4.0/bin/truffle -> /Users/pauldambra/.nvm/versions/node/v8.4.0/lib/node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js
+ truffle#4.1.14
added 81 packages in 4.364s
So you might be missing an nvm use v10 command
I think that a more permanent solution is this section from the support docs.
Default global packages from file while installing
If you have a list of default packages you want installed every time you install a new version, we support that too -- just add the package names, one per line, to the file $NVM_DIR/default-packages. You can add anything npm would accept as a package argument on the command line.
I have installed node and npm using following command in my Ubuntu machine:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
On checking version of installed, I could see following:
$ node -v && npm -v
v0.10.25
1.3.10
But I want nodejs version to be 4.2.0 or above. I am trying to install VSO Linux agent for a project. On executing node agent/vsoagent, I get error that node version should be 4.2.0 or above.
How do I install it and also make sure that the already installed ones are removed with node -v && npm -v gives me new version number?
Thanks
You already have npm, so you can use n manager to install any version you want (4.4.4 for ex): maybe you should use sudo for global install:
npm install -g n
n 4.4.4
Or
n latest
After that you can just run n to select version that you prefer. I use latest LTS and latest 6.x side-by-side and switching them anytime i want.
