How to Install Node Js Specific Version in Windows

Go here and find the version you want to install and then download the correct msi file and run the installer. You cannot install node by running this command, also the error you receive is stating that npm is not on your path which suggests machine doesn't currently have node installed on it

  • I am having problems finding the correct MSI file. I need to downgrade the Node version. Version 6.6.0 is having problems with Webstorm.

  • I have updated link as it has changed, all older versions are there.

  • Updated link again, you need to click on the version number to find the msi you want.

  • When I try to install the MSI file ,it says "A later version of node is already install setup will now exit"

  • @Snedden27 if you want to install an older version of node you must uninstall the newer version before installing older version.

Just uninstall whatever node version you have in your system. Then go to this site https://nodejs.org/download/release/ and choose your desired version like for me its like v7.0.0/ and click on that go get .msi file of that. Finally you will get installer in your system, so install it. It will solve all your problems.

  • 👍 Simple solution + good software management. Works as expected. *In terms of time, the nvm answer above is most efficient.

  • To uninstall Node in the first instance (on Windows at least) search in Start for "Uninstall Node.js" and run the pre-prepared script

For windows, best is: nvm-windows

1)install the .exe

2)restart (otherwise, nvm will not be undefined)

3)run CMD as admin,

4)nvm use 5.6.0

Note: You MUST run as Admin to switch node version every time.

  • Works like charm, thx! Ionic sass builde does not working well on the latest node windows version 10.6

run:

npm install -g node@7.10.1

              - or whatever version you want after the @ symbol (This works as of 2019)

You can use Nodist for this purpose. Download it from here.

Usage:

              nodist                         List all installed node versions. nodist list nodist ls  nodist <version>               Use the specified node version globally (downloads the executable, if necessary). nodist latest                  Use the latest available node version globally (downloads the executable, if necessary).  nodist add <version>           Download the specified node version.
