Solution 1:[1]

use node version manager nvm, you can switch any node version that you want.

You could also install the node npm module to change (upgrade or downgrade) the NodeJS version for the specific project.

Solution 3:[3]

Try the n package from npm. Find it here.

npm install -g n

n 10.16.0
n lts

Simply execute n <version> to download and install a version of Node.js. If has already been downloaded, n will install from its cache.

You can accomplish that with Node Version Manager. Install nvm first, and in a terminal:

nvm install 12.0.1

Then

nvm use 12.0.1

Solution 5:[5]

You can use: npm install -g node@version.

So for example in your case it would be -> sudo npm install -g [email protected]

might have to force it with --force at the end.

I finally found a simple solution.

  1. Uninstall the current Version
  2. Download the version you want.

It works fine for me.

Thanks!
