How to change Node Version in Provision Step in Amplify Console

Question

I'm facing the problem that I cant build my Angular app through the AWS Amplify Console: "You are running version v8.12.0 of Node.js, which is not supported by Angular CLI 8.0+. The official Node.js version that is supported is 10.9 or greater. Please visit https://nodejs.org/en/ to find instructions on how to update Node.js."

Now I want to set the default node version of the docker container in the provision step to VERSION_NODE_10 which is already defined in the container.

# Framework Versions ENV VERSION_NODE_8=8.12.0 ENV VERSION_NODE_6=6 ENV VERSION_NODE_10=10 ENV VERSION_NODE_DEFAULT=$VERSION_NODE_8 <-- Change this to $VERSION_NODE_10 ENV VERSION_RUBY_2_3=2.3.6 ENV VERSION_RUBY_2_4=2.4.3 ENV VERSION_RUBY_DEFAULT=$VERSION_RUBY_2_3 ENV VERSION_HUGO=0.51 ENV VERSION_YARN=1.13.0 

amplify.yml:

version: 0.1 backend:   phases:     build:       commands:         - '# Execute Amplify CLI with the helper script'         - amplifyPush --simple frontend:   phases:     preBuild:       commands:         - npm ci     build:       commands:         - node -v         - npm run-script build   artifacts:     baseDirectory: dist/cr-client     files:       - '**/*'   cache:     paths:       - node_modules/**/*

Does anyone know how to change the default?

AWS Amplify use nvm to handle node version. Try this:

version: 0.1 backend:   phases:     build:       commands:         - '# Execute Amplify CLI with the helper script'         - amplifyPush --simple frontend:   phases:     preBuild:       commands:         - nvm use $VERSION_NODE_10         - npm ci     build:       commands:         - nvm use $VERSION_NODE_10         - node -v         - npm run-script build   artifacts:     baseDirectory: dist/cr-client     files:       - '**/*'   cache:     paths:       - node_modules/**/*
