Update the old version of nodejs and npm for Mac

Question

I'm trying to update the old version of Nodejs and Npm for MacBook.

My current version: Nodejs v16.13.1 , npm 8.1.2

I want to update the old version again: Nodejs v12.13.0 , npm 6.14.6.0

I have researched but still can't update. Hope you can help me.

Do you need nodejs on your entire os or just to run some application? Are you open to a workaround that requires a couple of lines on the shell before the start of your app? — JRichardsz, Jan 13 '22 at 04:35
@JRichardsz I have successfully updated nodejs version, but npm still not — Lucky, Jan 13 '22 at 06:13
After installing nvm, you need to install node versions also. then using "nvm use NODE_VERSION" you can install node version what you want — Osanda Gamage, Jan 13 '22 at 06:21

As stated here, you might want to use "n" a node version manager for UNIX based systems.
