Is there a way to override npm’s version checking against a packages.json file from command line (npm install command)?
I would like to try and install/run a package even though it doesn’t match my node.js version.
This is the error I am getting:
npm ERR! Unsupported
npm ERR! Not compatible with your version of node/npm: canvas@0.6.0
npm ERR! Required: {"node":"0.4.x"}
npm ERR! Actual: {"npm":"1.0.8","node":"v0.5.0-pre"}
Thanks
What you could do is go to github package and update the
package.json. Then just install it locally. But most of the times these version numbers are there for a reason. The node.js api changes sometimes(I believe 0.5.0-pre changed, because socket.io also fails with 0.5.0-pre).If you for example install nvm, nave you can keep several version of node.js side-by-side easily.
