Hello Friends 🙏, today I was trying to run the npm init command and got below warnings
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can’t make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/
I thought it may be due to older node package installed on system, So installed current latest node package from https://nodejs.org/ which is v16.13.1 but sill got warning ⚠ to upgrade to a newer version of node😢 .
Then I checked the node and npm versions on my machine by running below commands
node -v //v16.13.1
npm -v //6.5.0Checked on node website and found that node v16.13.1 ships with npm 8.1.2 🤔
Now i tried updating npm using below command but got errors 😐.
🥳 Finally I got the solution:
Issue: Installed latest node package but npm version is showing older version?
Solution: Follow below steps and 🎉🥳
- Navigate to C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming
- Delete npm & npm-cache folders 📁
- Verify the npm version
npm -v //8.1.2Thanks 🙏.
