@oresoftware/npv

Change NPM versions, just like changing Node versions with NVM

Caveat/Disclaimer

Not all NPM versions are compatible with all Node versions. Many NPM versions are not compatible with older or newer Node versions.

Installation

$ npm i -g '@oresoftware/npv'

Usage

Add a new NPM version

$ npv use 6

The above will look to see if any local versions match 6*
If no local versions match, then it will go to NPM to get the latest version that starts with 6.

If you use the --latest flag:

$ npv use 6 --latest

then you will always get the latest version from NPM that starts with 6.

List all existing versions

$ npv ls

Remove matching versions

$ npv rm 6*

The above will remove all versions that start with 6.

Remove all versions

$ npv remove-all

The above will remove all versions. NPM will then be
replaced with the latest version: npm install -g npm@latest

Alias for the executable

Note that if npv / npmv executables already exists on your system, you can use this same package with a different name/executable:

$ npm i -g '@oresoftware/kk5'

'kk5' is completely random - I just chose it because it was easy to type lol. Most people will probably prefer using npv / npmv.
