Question

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?

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

Use following command to get nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

You can find it at https://github.com/creationix/nvm

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)
