How to create a ember version specific project?

Question

When i use,

ember new projname

project is getting created with 2.7.0 ember version. I want to create a older version ember project. What i should use? [i checked options that can be used with new command, but none helps for this.]

Here's what I ended up doing:

1. create a new directory for my project and cd inside of it
2. npm init (enter through some bogus details, doesn't matter, we're going to erase soon)
3. npm install --save-dev [email protected]
4. delete package.json and package-lock.json
5. ember new app

This got me a node_modules folder with the desired version of ember, and then also allowed me to use the ember cli to generate a project. It will create a folder with the name of the app, of course, and you can safely delete the node_modules folder in the app's parent directory.

This feels like a little bit of a round-about way of doing things, but it worked, and it seemed easier than trying to mess with my global versions.

Hope this helps someone out!
