revert to system version

Problem

Basically, I installed n(tj/n)for managing my node versions, and after that, I installed a node version 14.6, it automatically switched my node version to 14.6 and also try to switch my version using the n command but that showed only the one that I installed with n.

  • So, is there any way to switch to my main node version (that's installed previously in my system), it overrides my system version ??

n only tracks the versions of node it has downloaded, and does not show the previous system version.

Whether you still have a system version depends on whether n installed to a different location, or overwrote the previous version. By default n installs node to /usr/local/bin/node. If your operating system has which you can see if there are multiple versions of node in your PATH with:

which -a node

If you do have a system version installed to a different location, then you can use n uninstall to remove the n managed version and go back to the system one.
