Switching node versions with HomeBrew

Community Support

I accidentally upgraded npm and now I can’t compile bokeh from source.

Does anyone know how to link to an older version of node? I was able to install node@8, but I’m not sure how to link to it?

Thanks in advance.

It’s npm that came out with a new version yesterday. You should be able to downgrade npm we with npm but not that a PRc was merged yesterday that widened the acceptable versions to include the new npm.

there was a first release of nodejs in 10.x line (non LTS) yesterday, so it may be a problem to some users.

Thanks guys. I was able to work around this based in the link below, with a small tweak.
https://medium.com/@katopz/how-to-install-specific-nodejs-version-c6e1cec8aa11

I had to add --overwrite and --force flags in brew link node@8

···

To unlink from current version

$ brew unlink node

Install any version e.g. 8

$ brew install node@**8**

To link installed version

$ brew link node@**8 --overwrite --force**
