Recently, the project uses node and npm. Check the current version and find that there is an error
node -v
npm -v 
ERROR: npm v9.6.2 is known not to run on Node.js v12.13.1. You'll need to upgrade
to a newer Node.js version in order to use this version of npm. This version of
npm supports the following node versions: `^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0`. You
can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/.
After searching in multiple directions, I found the version comparison chart of node and npm
1. I thought that npm reported an error, just downgrade the npm version to a lower version, but the result is still an error
npm -g install [email protected]
2. Brew installation and upgrade to the new version of node, replacing the current low version, the result did not work
brew install node@16
3. Finalize the idea, because node did not report an error, but npm reported an error, so you need to switch the node version, (you need to catch the node version management tool nvm)
install nvm
brew install nvm
Check nvm version
nvm --version
Explain the first step in detail
nvm --version
//problem appear. To configure
zsh: command not found: nvm
Step 2: nvm configuration
1.vim ~/.bash_profile
Click i to insert the following configuration
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
After inserting, click Esc and use: wq. to save and exit
Execution: source ~/.bash_profile If there is a problem, ignore it and go on
2.vim ~/.zshrc
Click i to insert the following configuration
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
After inserting, click Esc and use: wq. Save and exit
Execute: source ~/.zshrc
3.vim ~/.profile
Click i to insert the following configuration
export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh
After inserting, click Esc and use: wq. Save and exit
Execute: source ~/.profile
Finally, start testing
Execution: nvm --version
shows the version number, indicating that the configuration is successful: 0.39.3
4. Install the specified version of node through nvm
Due to the prompt, the version starting from 14 or 16 or 18 must be
This version of
npm supports the following node versions: `^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0`. You
can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/.We will install the 16.13.0 version of node through nvm
nvm install 16.13.0
Finally check the results
The node version has been upgraded, npm no longer reports an error, and the upgrade is complete
