NPM(Node Package Manager) is the default package manager for the Node.js JavaScript runtime environment. It allows developers to easily manage project dependencies, share and reuse code, and automate various development tasks.

NPM is also used for installing, publishing, and managing third-party packages and modules, making it a crucial tool in the Node.js ecosystem. npm provides a vast ecosystem of packages, enabling developers to leverage existing code and libraries to build applications more efficiently. npm is free to use and helps save developers time by not having to write everything from scratch.

Prerequisites:

  • NPM & Node.js

Steps to Install the specific version of NPM

Step 1 : To check the current version of npm, we need to use the following command by opening the command promp.

npm --version

Here, current version of npm is 8.19.3.

Step 2 : To install the specific version of NPM, we can use the following command

npm install -g npm@`version_number`

In the place of `version_number`, we need to specify the version of npm, that we want to install. We need to wait for the installation process to complete. NPM will download and install the specified version of npm in our project's node_modules directory.

Example: Let us try to install npm version 7.24.0

Screenshot-2024-05-07-185238

Here, we can clearly see that, our initial version of NPM is 8.19.3, and then we installed version 7.24.0 using the given command, and it got installed. We also verified it using npm --version command after installing.

Conclusion

By following the above mentioned steps, we can easily install and manage the specific npm version as per our project requirements.
