I'm trying to install the vcremote npm package which contains a command line tool that I need to run regularly via shell. Therefore, I attempt to install it globally using the below command:
npm install -g --unsafe-perm vcremote
Unfortunately, the installation fails on my machine because an indirect dependency package is outdated and needs to be replaced with a newer version. The dependency tree looks as follows:
vcremote
|
+--vcremote-lib
|
+--ios-deploy
I would need to override the version of ios-deploy while installing vcremote.
I have come across this SO post that asks almost the same. As pointed out by the accepted answer, I have tried to use overrides but that seems to be ignored. I assume it is related to the fact that I try to install the package globally which means there really isn't a packages.json file.
Is there a way to override the version of ios-deploy while installing vcremote globally?
