How do I find out all previous versions of a package using npm?
In this instance, I am interested in cordova. If I execute npm install -g cordova
, I will install the latest version (which is what you'd expect).
If I do npm install -g cordova@3.1.0-0.1.0
then I get the specific version installed - I would like to know because I am having troubles with the latest version of a package, and would like to test which version the problem occurred in - but cannot do that if I don't know which npm package versions there have been.
Try:
In your terminal:
npm view cordova versions
Output:

That should list the old versions of the package you're looking for -- in this case, the package is "cordova."
Then you can install what you want using whichever npm install command you choose to install with.
To get a list of all versions available:
npm view cordova versions
to install an older version:
npm install -g cordova@5.2.0
