在Mac OS上将Node.js升级到最新版本 [英] Upgrade Node.js to the latest version on Mac OS

问题描述

当前，我在Mac OS X 10.7.4上使用Node.js v0.6.16.现在，我想将其升级到最新的Node.js v0.8.1.但是从nodejs.org下载并安装了最新的软件包文件后，我发现当我在终端中键入"node -v"时，系统仍在使用v0.6.16而不是v0.8.1.我错过了任何步骤吗?或者，在安装最新版本之前，我应该彻底卸载旧版本吗?

顺便说一句，我知道nvm可以帮助管理nodejs包

https://github.com/creationix/nvm/

有没有不使用它就可以升级Node.js的方法吗?

我已经搜索了这个问题，但是在我看来，对于最新的Node.js，这个问题没有非常明确的答案.

解决方案

这里是我如何从v0.8.18升级到v0.10.20 ，而没有任何其他要求(如brew等)的方式(在终端):

1. sudo npm cache clean -f(强制)清除npm缓存
2. sudo npm install -g n安装 n (这可能需要一段时间)
3. sudo n stable升级到当前的稳定版本

请注意，sudo可能会提示您输入密码.

有关步骤3的补充说明:stable可以交换为latest，lts(长期支持)或任何特定的版本号，例如0.10.20.

如果在键入node -v时未显示版本号，则可能需要重新启动.

Currently I am using Node.js v0.6.16 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. Now I want to upgrade it to the latest Node.js v0.8.1. But after downloading and installing the latest package file from nodejs.org, I found that system is still using v0.6.16 instead of v0.8.1 when I typed "node -v" in a terminal. Is there any step that I have missed? Or, should I thoroughly uninstall the old version before installing the latest one?

BTW, I know that nvm can help to manage the nodejs package

https://github.com/creationix/nvm/

Is there any way to upgrade the Node.js without using it?

I have googled this problem, but it seems to me that there is no very clear answer to this question for the latest Node.js.

解决方案

Here's how I successfully upgraded from v0.8.18 to v0.10.20 without any other requirements like brew etc, (type these commands in the terminal):

1. sudo npm cache clean -f (force) clear you npm cache
2. sudo npm install -g n install n (this might take a while)
3. sudo n stable upgrade to the current stable version

Note that sudo might prompt your password.

Additional note regarding step 3: stable can be exchanged for latest, lts (long term support) or any specific version number such as 0.10.20.

If the version number doesn't show up when typing node -v, you might have to reboot.
