First: It is possible to automatically change the version of node and npm to the engine versions you specified in the package.json without manually run n or nvm?
Next: Is there a version manager for npm? Sometimes i cannot install some packages over the latest npm version (3.3.9) and musst change to version 2.9.1. i had this behavior by installing bcrypt in combination with sails.js, i had to install sails with the npm@latest, switch to npm@2.9.1 (because of not finding lodash und fsevents) and install bcrypt.
my actual version change is following.
npm install -g npm@2.9.1 or npm install -g npm@latest
But in some cases he doesn't add npm to the PATH variable after switching versions. So a package like n would be very nice.
but search for a similar mechanism like the package n (node version manager).
By the way, do you prefer n or nvm? I use n, because it does what it does and it works nice.
Node / NPM is so mighty and i want to introduce it to my company, but i need some tools for automation and guarantee that it works :)
Thank for the coming answers.
