When using nvm to manage the Node.js version, you can use the following command to change the npm version:
First, use nvm to switch to the version of Node.js you want to use, for example:
nvm use 14.17.0
This will switch the current shell environment to Node.js version 14.17.0.
Then, use the npm command to check the current npm version:
npm -v
If you need to switch the npm version, you can use the npm command to install the specified version of npm. For example, to install npm version 7.20.3:
npm install -g [email protected]
After the installation is complete, you can use the npm -v command again to view the current npm version and confirm whether the switch has been successful.
It should be noted that when switching npm versions, it is recommended to back up the package.json and package-lock.json files of the current project first to avoid dependency installation failures caused by version incompatibility and other issues. At the same time, switching the npm version may affect the globally installed npm package, so it is recommended to proceed with caution.
