How to change to an older version of Node.js

I am running Node.js version `v0.5.9-pre` on Ubuntu 10.10.

I would like to be using version `v0.5.0-pre`.

How do I roll back to the older version of node?

Another good library for managing multiple versions of Node is N:

For some reason Brew installs node 5 into a separate directory called node5.

The steps I took to get back to version 5 were: (You will need to look up standard brew installation/uninstallation, but otherwise this process is more straightforward than it looks.)

1. Install node5 using Brew standard installation, BUT don't brew link, yet.
2. Uninstall all other versions of node using brew unlink node and brew uninstall node. You might need to use --force to remove one of the versions.
3. Find the cellar folder on your computer
4. Delete the node folder in the cellar.
5. Rename the node5 folder to node.
6. Then, brew link node

You should be all set with node 5.

I had node version 6.4.0 .

As i am need of the older version 6.3.0 , i just installed the 6.3.0 version again in my system. node version downgraded automatically.

So, to downgrade the node version ,
Just install the older version of node js . It will get downgraded automatically from the higher version.

I tried in osx . It works like a charm .

nvmw is no longer maintained, but I found another source that seems to be up to date (as of 1/4/17).

It works. Allowed me to downgrade to 6.3.1

On windows 7 I used the general 'Uninstall Node.js' (just started typing in the search bottom left ,main menu field) followed by clicking the link to the older version which complies with the project, for instance:
Windows 64-bit Installer:

run this:

rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clear && npm install

Node will install from whatever is cached. So if you clear everything out first, then NPM use 0.10.xx, it will revert properly.

Why use any extension when you can do this without extension :)

**Install specific version of node**

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

Specific version : `sudo n 4.4.4` instead of `sudo n stable`

One way is to use NVM, the Node Version Manager.

Use following command to get nvm

curl -o-

It allows you to easily install and manage multiple versions of node. Here's a snippet from the help:

Usage:
nvm install <version> Download and install a <version>
nvm use <version> Modify PATH to use <version>
nvm ls List versions (installed versions are blue)
