I had node v12 and npm v6.9.2 & wanted to upgrade node to v14.
I tried 2 options:
- just ran the installer and hoping it would upgrade the npm, didn't work
- uninstalled node and hoping it's fresh installation for node v14 with npm v6.14.x, didn't work
output:
- npm version was still v6.9.2 which didn't support node v14 and asked to run npm rebuild something
- googled and found not working solution which is run
npm install -g npm
both have deadlock output, current npm doesn't support node v14 hence can't run both commands
what I had to do manually for fresh installation:
- uninstall previous node.js
- go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming and delete manually npm & npm-cache folder
- run the msi 14.17.0 again, then it works
