[Solved] How to use 'nvm alias default 8.1.4' from console

Glitch Help
1

I’ve been trying to change default Node.js version from 6.11.1 to 8.1.4. from the console.

I typed:

nvm alias default 8.1.4

But I received the message:

tee: /home/nvm/.nvm/alias/default: Permission denied

Then, I tried to sudo:

sudo

But the console said:

bash: sudo: command not found

How can I do to change default Node.js version??

You can change that in your package.json file. The entry looks like this:

"engines": {
  "node": "6.9.1"
},

"engines": {
  "node": "6.9.1"
},

Hmm, it looks like a “runtime” change…
Cannot I change the version with any nvm commands?

It’s not a runtime change, the engines configuration is applied at installation time.

finally, I got it. I’ve forgotten that package.json is npm’s configuration file.
Thank you for your kindness!
