I tried updating npm to see if it would solve some dependency problems we were having, and now I want to downgrade to the version the rest of the development team is using. How can I install an older version?

I updated npm according to the instructions on the About npm CLI versions:

The latest release of npm

The latest release of npm is the most recent stable version. When you install Node.js, npm is automatically installed. However, npm is released more frequently than Node.js, so to install the latest stable version of npm, on the command line, run:

npm install npm@latest -g

downgrade npm node.js installation

Just replace @latest with the version number you want to downgrade to. I wanted to downgrade to version 3.10.10, so I used this command:

npm install -g npm@3.10.10

If you're not sure which version you should use, look at the version history. For example, you can see that 3.10.10 is the latest version of npm 3.

Before doing that Download Node Js 8.11.3 from the URL: download

Open command prompt and run this:

npm install -g npm@3.10.10

use this version this is the stable version which works along with cordova 7.1.0

for installing cordova use : • npm install -g cordova@7.1.0

• Run command

• Cordova platform remove android (if you have old android code or code is having some issue)

• Cordova platform add android : for building android app in cordova Running: Corodva run android
