I tried updating npm to see if it would solve some dependency problems we were having  and now I want to downgrade to the version the rest of the development team is using  How can I install an older version  I updated npm according to the instructions on the installation page   Updating npm Node comes with npm installed so you should have a version of npm  However  npm gets updated more frequently than Node does  so you ll want to make sure it s the latest version  npm install npm latest -g

Just need to add version of which you want      upgrade or downgrade   npm install -g npm version  Example if you want to downgrade from npm 5 6 0 to 4 6 1 then   npm install -g npm 4 6 1  It is tested on linux

Just replace  latest with the version number you want to downgrade to  I wanted to downgrade to version 3 10 10  so I used this command   npm install -g npm 3 10 10   If you re not sure which version you should use  look at the version history  For example  you can see that 3 10 10 is the latest version of npm 3
