nvm debug output:
nvm ls output:
How did you install nvm?
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
What steps did you perform?
Looking at
nvm use v18.12.1
nvm uninstall v19.1.0
nvm install v19.1.0
What happened?
Looking at "nvm ls" it seems like that latest stable version of node supported is v19.1.0
node --version -> v19.1.0
npm --version ->8.19.3
which npm -> /home/mwoodpatrick/.nvm/versions/node/v19.1.0/bin/npm
What did you expect to happen?
I would have expected that npm would have the current version.
If I do
curl -qL https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh
which npm -> /home/mwoodpatrick/.nvm/versions/node/v19.1.0/bin/npm
npm --version -> 9.1.2
How do I get the latest npm version installed by default
nvm install-latest-npm is how you do this manually, nvm install whatever --latest-npm is how you do it at the time of installing node.
By default, the npm version you get is the one that ships with node. There will not be any way to change this default.
