Node.js is a popular JavaScript runtime that allows developers to build server-side applications using JavaScript. npm is the default package manager for Node.js, and it is used to install and manage packages for Node.js projects.
When building Node.js projects, it is often necessary to specify a specific version of Node.js and npm to be used for the build and release process. This ensures that the same version of the tools is used across all environments and prevents compatibility issues.
This can be done using the Node Version Manager (nvm) or the Node.js installer.
Using Node.js installer:
You can install a specific version of Node.js and npm by using the Node.js tool installer task in Azure DevOps. You can add the task to your pipeline yaml file and configure it to install the desired version of Node.js and npm:
This will install version 14.18.1 of Node.js and version 6.14.15 of npm on the build agent. you can use the following command to check the version:
- node -v
- npm -v
If you want to install a specific version of npm instead of using the version installed by NodeTool you can use below PowerShell command into your pipeline after above task.
This will install version 7.14.0 of npm on the build agent.
Using nvm:
nvm is a command-line tool that allows you to easily install and manage multiple versions of Node.js. To install nvm, you can use the following command in your pipeline yaml file:
Once nvm is installed, you can use it to install a specific version of Node.js in your pipeline yaml file using below:
This will install version 14.18.1 of Node.js and set it as the default version for the pipeline.
You can also install a specific version of npm in your pipeline yaml file using below:
This will install version 7.14.0 of npm.
In conclusion, you can install a specific version of Node.js and npm in Azure DevOps by using the Node Version Manager (nvm) or using the Node.js tool installer task in a pipeline.
